Sahih Adab al-Mufrad

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A woman was punished because of a cat which she had tied up, until it died of hunger and thirst. She entered Hell because of that cat. It will be said to her (and Allah knows best): When you kept it tied up, you neither fed it nor gave it water, nor did you let it go free so that it could eat the insects of the earth."
