The Story of a Cat Who Brings Food to Another Blind Cat

Prof. Quraish Shihab once said that animals also have feelings just like humans. Because, animals are people like humans who have feelings. In fact, in the Qur'an Allah swt. provide guidance on how to take care of animals.

One of the animals that we often encounter, both those that are kept by people and those that live freely on the roadsides is an animal called a cat. This animal for some people is an adorable animal. However, for others,

these animals are also often considered annoying, because they often take fish and food. But that's how Allah swt. In creating everything, there must be a downside and a plus side.

Behind the adorable and sometimes annoying animal called a cat. There is an interesting story about a cat. This is as explained by Ibn Khalikan in his book Wafayat al-A'yan . That one day Ibn Absyad An-Nahwi was on the roof of a mosque in Egypt. At that time he was eating something, and around him there were a lot of people. Suddenly a cat came. Seeing a cat coming, the people threw a handful of food at the cat. The cat then took the food with his mouth. After taking the food, the cat then left.

Not long after, the cat came again. People threw their food at the cat again. Getting food again, the cat did the same. Took food and just walked away quickly. Incidents like this were repeated many times.

The people who saw the cat were surprised. Because, it is impossible for that much food to only be eaten by a cat.

The people were curious and doubtful about the condition of the cat. They then followed where the cat brought the food they gave them. After being followed, they found the cat climbing the roof wall of the mosque. The cat then descended to a place, precisely in a ruined house. It turned out, in that place there was a blind cat with a pile of food in front of him.

As it turned out, the cat they fed and picked it up many times didn't eat it themselves. The cat brought the food to the blind cat, placed it in front of the blind cat to eat.

People who saw this were immediately amazed by the cat. A cat who is sensitive to the condition of other cats. Blind cats who struggle to meet their own food needs because of their limited physical condition.

The cat story above is proof that animals also have feelings. Therefore, never torture and hurt animals. Because they also have feelings like humans.
