باب الْوُضُوءِ بِسُؤْرِ الْهِرَّةِ وَالرُّخْصَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ
Sunan Ibn Majah, Book of The Purification and its Sunnah(view book)
It was narrated from Kabshah bint Ka'b, who was married to one of the sons of Ab Qatadah, that:
She poured water for Abu Qatadah to perform ablution. A cat came and drank the water, and he tilted the vessel for it. She started looking at it (in surprise) and he said: "O daughter of my brother, do you find it strange? The Messenger of Allah said: 'They (cats) are not impure, they are of those who go around among you.'"

It was narrated that 'Aishah said:
"The Messenger of Allah and I used to perform ablution from a single vessel, when the cat had drunk from it beforehand."
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ رَافِعٍ، وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ تَوْبَةَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ حَارِثَةَ، عَنْ عَمْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَتَوَضَّأُ أَنَا وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ، ﷺ مِنْ إِنَاءٍ وَاحِدٍ قَدْ أَصَابَتْ مِنْهُ الْهِرَّةُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that:
The Messenger of Allah said: "Cats do not invalidate the prayer, because they are one of the things that are useful in the house."
