Hazrat Abu Umamah says that a cat is one of the household items.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the leftovers of a cat, so he replied that there is no harm in it.

Hazrat Abu Qatadah narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The cat is among those (animals) that move about in the house."

Hazrat Abu Ishaq narrates that once a cat put its mouth in the milk at Hazrat Alqama's house. The household wanted to throw away that milk, but Hazrat Alqama said that throwing it away is burdensome to my heart!
