Felines have long ruled the web, and according to internet denizens, the only thing cuter than a cat is a kitten. Thus, when the imam of an Istanbul mosque posted a video, which showed a mother cat carrying her babies in her mouth, the internet exploded.
Countless shares later, Mustafa Efe, the imam of the Aziz Mahmud Hudayi Mosque, has become famous across the web. Well-known locally for being cat-friendly, Efe's photographs are now all over the web, published by those who go to his mosque.
According to visitors, the imam has also started opening the doors of his mosque for stray cats, so that the felines can escape the cold weather. The Imam is also known to share photos of the cats on his social media account.
According to a post shared on social media, the imam said, "Our mosque's Friday guests, a surprise awaiting us at the sermon today. The kitty has found the heart of compassion and mercy..."
Islamic literature indicates Muhammed was a cat person.
On of the favorite stories was when a call to prayer came Muhammed had his favorite cat , Mueza asleep on his sleeve.
Rather than bother his cat Muhammed cut off the sleeve and left the cat to continue sleeping. -tom
Because people taste like sh1t and dogs have standards.
soylent green is cat food!
LOL or Andes stranded Uruguayan rugby player food.
The Catholic church I attended had a flock of cats in the courtyard. I'd even see them sleeping on top of parked cars. Never saw any inside the church, though.
I hope they don’t try to handcuff & throw this guy off a high-rise roof
Just reading about the feral/stray cat population in the US. Estimates are between 50 and 70 million. I like cats and all, but the world is overrun with them.
