The Messenger of Allah said: "Cats do not invalidate the prayer, because they are one of the things that are useful in the house." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 369)   

الحاكم:٩٣٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْغِفَارِيُّ بِمَرْوَ ثنا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْحَافِظُ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحَنَفِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْهِرَّةُ لَا تَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ لِأَنَّهَا مِنْ مَتَاعِ الْبَيْتِ»  

«هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ لِاسْتِشْهَادِهِ بِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ مَقْرُونًا بِغَيْرِهِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ» قد استشهد مسلم بابن أبي الزناد
