The Remnants of a Cat and Its Hair

Question
Is it permissible to drink from the same dish that the cat drank from or to eat from it, and is it permissible to pray on the carpet that has cat hair on it?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The saliva of a cat is pure, and repeating it is disliked as a matter of etiquette, so it is permissible to drink and eat from it. It is preferable to clean the hair on the carpet for the cat, especially if it is abundant, and God knows best.
