Cat interrupts unfazed Imam’s Ramadan prayers in Algeria. See the heartwarming moment


In a translated comment on the Facebook video, the imam’s Facebook account says the adorable incident took place in the mosque of Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, in the state of Bordj Bou Arreridj. — Screengrab from Imam Walid Mehsas’ Facebook page

A live broadcast captured the moment a cat interrupted an imam’s nightly Ramadan prayer in Algeria, and the Internet went crazy for it.

The clip was posted to Imam Walid Mehsas’ Facebook page on Tuesday, April 4. It shows a white cat with orange and black patches pop out from behind a wall next to the imam and meow up at him as he prays. The cat climbs onto a ledge that’s supporting a microphone for a better vantage point, then jumps down and paws and rubs at the imam’s legs to get his attention.
