Cats and dogs

Aw, puppy!  Natty, he looks like a rug!  What's his name?  I like dogs.  I love cats, but I like dogs too.  Especially if they're loved and well taken care of.  Muslims aren't supposed to keep dogs, something about the Prophet (peace be on him) saying something about angels don't enter a house where there is a dog inside and pictures of humanoids on the walls.  I don't recall an absolute ban though, and a dog are mentioned in a positive manner in the Qur'an.  The locals here view dogs as vermin, and regularly shoot the wild dogs.  Did I tell you about the dog I once took home?  I found a couple of puppies by the dumpster, waiting for someone by a tree.  The next day when I took out the trash there was only one left, still waiting.  So I felt sorry for it, took it home, gave it a bath, cleaned its teeth, and fed it.  It was Friday, and I had to go to Friday prayer.  While I was gone, the puppy barked up a racket.  So when I got home, my parents made more noise than the dog so I had to take it to the edge of the jungle away from humans, and leave it there.  No folks, I didn't want a dog and I don't want a dog.  I JUST WANTED TO SHOW THE ANIMAL SOME KINDNESS.

Yesterday I mentioned that my cats in heat haven't been spraying my bedroom door.  Since I mentioned that, they began spraying my bedroom door with gusto.  Cats.  I love my cats though, I've always loved cats, now more than ever.  Ya Allah, thank You for my kitties.  Please protect them and give them long happy healthy lives.  I wrote a song about cats and dogs a while ago, I published it here in this blog!  It's so easy, anyone can sing it, it doesn't need music, just some rhythm!  It goes:

Kitty Cat Kitty Cat, meow meow meow!
Doggy Woggy Doggy Woggy, bow wow wow!

And you repeat it over and over and over again until you can't stand it anymore.  What do you think?  It's a hit!  It's a hit!
