Imam Walid Mehsas was leading the Taraweeh prayer during the holy month of Ramadan when he was interrupted by a feline friend

A sweet moment where a cat is seen pouncing on an imam during Ramadan prayers has gone viral on social media. Imam Walid Mehsas was leading the Taraweeh, a nightly prayer during the sacred month of Ramadan, when he was interrupted by a furry feline, although he appeared rather unfazed by the encounter.

The imam, who was reciting a portion from the holy Quran during the prayer, was given quite the surprise when a cat, with white and white coloured fur, unexpectedly leaped onto his chest. However, Mehsas managed to keep his composure as he petted the animal and helped it onto his shoulder.
