Muezza
Muezza was the favourite cat of the prophet Mohammed. It is said that he loved his cat so much that when Muezza was asleep on the sleeve of his robe one day, and Mohammed was called to prayer, rather than disturb him he cut off the sleeve leaving the cat snoozing in peace.
Legend has it that the reason Mohammed loved cats so much was that his life had been saved by one. A snake had crawled into his sleeve and refused to leave. A cat was called and asked the snake to show its head, in order to discuss its departure. When the snake finally appeared, the cat pounced on it and carried it off.
