Feeding an animal is also full of virtue

The Prophet of Islam wasonce performing ablution (Wudhu) for prayers
from a pot of water. A cat passed thereand turned its eyes at the pot
of water with a thirsty look. The Prophetrealised at once that the cat
was very thirsty, so he stopped the ablution (Wudhu) and placed the
pot before the cat. Only after the cat had fully quenched its thirst,
did the Prophet resume the ablution (Wudhu).
