My Cat died.

This is blog is not for discussing these things,but still writing it down to share my sadness with you.

On Thursday 19/8/2010,our beloved cat Neon died.He was killed by dogs in night.We took Neon in Jan 2010,when even his eyes were not open,we saw him grow in front of our eyes.He was loved by everyone in home.Our family would talk about him to everyone,talking about his acts and activities.

His everyday activity included,waking up at Fajr.Though he would wake up but still keep lying at his bed.When he would see my mom waking up,then he would also wake up and start doing mischievous things.While going to Sajda in Namaz he would often jump on to our head.Then he would drink some milk,eat biscuits and go out of home.He would return to home within 1-2 hours and go to sleep and would wake up by Asar.After taking his meal,occasionally he would again go out and come back soon.

But on Thursday night,he had his dinner of meat & milk,played in home for sometime and then quietly went outside.I heard the noise of cat crying at around 1 am at night,but thought its coming from somewhere else.In morning after fajr i tried looking out for him but couldn't find.My mom was worried she went to people staying in ground floor and asked them about Neon.It was then that they informed Neon is killed by dogs.My mom couldn't control her emotions and started crying.She later called me & my brother.My brother returned from college and brought the dead body of neon to home.We couldn't control ourselves and started crying.After Asar,dad was also informed about Neon death.He was placed in a cloth and my brother took it to bury him at Ulsoor Muslim Graveyard.

I pet Neon to follow Sunnat of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would lower the bowl of water for his cat and after cat had drunk he would use the same water for ablution.

There is another hadees,where hareesa a food made up of meat & flour was sent to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him)'s wife Mother of believers Hazrat Aisha Siddiqua(may ALLAH be please with her).She was praying and a cat came and started eating it.After the prayer Hazrat Aisha called her neighborhood friends to eat hareesa.Her friends ate it but avoided the area from where cat ate,seeing this Hazrat Aisha ate from the same place from where cat ate and said that I have heard Prophet Muhammed(peace be upon him) saying:Cat is not impure.

These hadees clearly shows the love of Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) and his wife towards cat.

The greatest companion of Prophet Mohammad(peace be upon him) Hazrat Abu Huraira also loved cats very much.He had a small cat with him when Prophet Muhammad saw the cat with him he called him "O! Abu Hurairah! meaning "father of small cat".This name became so famous that people forgot his original name Abdul Rahman.

We can not forget Neon,we still remember him,we still weep,my mom weeps even more,his bed is empty,his food is lying in kitchen and his bowl is still filled with milk.May ALLAH azzawajal give us the sab'r and sawab.
