Aug 26, 2019 · Why All Cats Are Jewish. Jews and cats get along surprisingly well as their similarities shine through. In a culture where love is shown through obedience, cats get a bad rap. They’re often dismissed as cold or even heartless, ready to eat their owner as soon as acknowledge them.

For a host of cultural reasons, anecdotal evidence suggests that Jewish homes did not often include pet dogs (although cats were more commonly kept, to keep mice at bay). One reason for this may be that pets are generally non-kosher animals, and there is a preference for seeing kosherimages to whatever degree possible. Thus Orthodox pet ownership i...
It is indeed forbidden to keep dangerous pets, such as a dog that bites (or even one who barks and frightens people), unless they are properly restrained. The Talmud and subsequent texts discuss what allowances may be made for security and what precautions are still necessary.1 Read: Guard Your Life
The Talmud tells us that there is an ancient curse placed on anyone who raises pigs. This happened after enemies besieging Jerusalem sent in a pig instead of the usual kosher animals that were allowed into the city to be sacrificed on the altar.2 So although pigs make for intelligent and trainable pets, they are not right for Jewish homes.

In the Shema, we are assured that G‑d will “give grass in the field for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated.5 From here the sages infer that we, too, must make sure that our animals have food before we sit down to breakfast.6 Read: Do I Need to Feed My Dog Before Eating?
There are indeed several issues pet owners need to be aware of regarding Shabbat: 1. “Trapping” is one of the 39 acts (melachot) forbidden on Shabbat. If your animal is prone to running away, then closing the door or window to prevent its flight may be a form of trapping. 2. It is permitted to walk your animal even outside of an eruv, provided that...
We are told in the Torah that the firstborn of any kosher flock is holy and must be given to a Kohen (priest), who would consume it as a sacrifice in the Holy Temple. There is also a similar sacredness for the firstborn donkey, which must be exchanged for a sheep, which is then sacrificed. Nowadays, since there is no Holy Temple, firstborns cannot ...
Assuming that you are not preparing your animal’s meals in your kosher kitchen with your kosher dishes, your animal is free to enjoy horse meat or other non kosher foods. An exception8 to this rule would be a cooked mixture of milk and meat, from which we may not benefit and are therefore not even allowed to feed our pets. This applies only to the ...
Passover can be tricky, since we may not benefit from chametzon Passover. The ingredients of various animal foods are different, so consult the most recent guides published by your local kosher supervisory agency to find out what’s OK each year.

We read on Yom Kippur afternoon how Jonah inspired the residents of Ninveh to fast and repent. In that case, as decreed by the king, both people and livestock refrained from eating and drinking.10This, however, is not the Jewish way. On Jewish fast days, only Jewish adults (and children who are up to the task) are obligated to fast. This does not i...
Their neat qualities were recognized by the great sage Rabbi Yohanan who noted that we can learn many good traits from animals. He counseled that “Even if the Torah had not been given, we would nonetheless have learned modesty from the cat…” (Talmud Eruvin 100b:29).
