    Yes, keeping cats as pets is allowed and even praised in Islam. Cats are generally considered clean animals in Islamic tradition, and there are several references to cats in the sayings (hadiths) of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that highlight their positive qualities. One well-known hadith mentions that a woman was punished in the afterlife for mistreating a cat by not feeding it or allowing it to roam freely. This illustrates the importance of kindness and compassion toward animals in Islam. Muslims are encouraged to provide for the well-being of animals under their care, including cats. This means ensuring they are fed, sheltered, and treated with kindness. There is no specific prohibition against keeping cats as pets, and they are regarded as clean animals in terms of Islamic dietary laws. It’s worth noting that while keeping cats as pets is allowed, the treatment of all animals in Islam is governed by principles of kindness and compassion. Muslims are encouraged to treat all creatures with care and respect.
