Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner asks: Is the cat’s saliva pure? Is what is lower than the cat in creation pure?

Yes, the cat is pure by explicit text. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 1:1076 Its saliva is pure, and the residue left after it drinks from water or anything else is pure.
