Cat Takes Part In Her Family's Prayer Time Ever Since She Got Her Own Miniature Praying Rug
Tofu did not just join her family, she also found a place in their daily prayer routine.
When Mohammad Fahmi adopted the kitten after she was rescued from the streets, the family quickly realized she wanted to be part of everything they did. That included prayer time at home, where Tofu now shows up right alongside Fahmi and his dad, ready to settle in on her own tiny rug.
It is a small, sweet habit, but Tofu seems determined to make it a family tradition.
“I convinced my mom to let Tofu stay,” Fahmi told The Dodo. “The whole family didn't really like pets, but now everyone is super into Tofu.”
Every time they start praying, Tofu immediately joins them.
“Tofu always loves when our family members are gathering in one spot, so whenever my dad and I go to pray together, she joins us and either sits or disturbs us,” Fahmi said.
Tofu has a habit of rolling around on the prayer rugs wherever her family begins praying, so they started thinking of a way to distract her.
They eventually came up with the ultimate solution: they gave her her own miniature rug that looks just like the one they pray on — and it totally worked (at least most of the time).
“Lately, she started to understand that the small rug is for her so she doesn’t disturb the others; that took a while,” Fahmi said. “That was a travel rug (adults use it only to cover the part where our face touches the ground), but we rarely use it anyway, so we might as well use it for Tofu.”
Tofu loves gathering with her family whenever they're praying. She enjoys having them all in one place, and to her, that's what matters most.
