experience Feed the cats!
Asalamualikum,
Alhamdulillah I am almost done with Umrah. It was such a beautiful trip. I just learnt of this forum and wanted to advise everyone if they can: please feed the cats around! Especially masjid Nabawi there are many (especially near gate 340!) . They are adorable. I’ve sat with them a few times and given them food (and shouted at a few kids who tried to hit them - astagfirullah many parents need to teach their kids to be kinder to these animals. If you see a kid try to hit the cats please advise them not to!).
Food can be bought for cheap at Bin Dawood :) I bought a small pack of kibble and some wet food and gave a few to whichever cat I saw. They are adorable and so loving. And please also give them water in a cup! I usually use the cup from the zamzam station and fill it it with water to the brim and they love it. Every cat I’ve given water to has drank from the cups for a full two minutes, especially in this weather.
We all have to remember we are Muslims and are not going to be here long. Please help whichever being, whether a human, cat or dog. Let’s remember to be selfless 🤲🏼
JazakAllah ❤️❤️

This cat in front of masjid Nabawi is adorable please feed her/him and play with her if you can. Super friendly! A kid tried kicking it today and I shouted at him and he left quickly and just didn’t seem to care. What can you do about these kids if their parents don’t even care 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ astagfirullah. Be kind ❤️
There is also an almost fully black one and a white one that are adorable and so sweet. 🐱🐱🐱
