German man marries his dying cat

Whoever says men don't like cats needs to go talk to a man in Germany who not only likes his .... he took her for his bride.

According to this sort of bizarre, yet a tiny bit sweet, report from the BBC,  the guy unofficially married the asthmatic kitty named Cecilia after vets told him she didn't have long to live.

The 39-year-old Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, paid an actress 300 euros to officiate at the ceremony because it's illegal for Germans to marry animals.

Cat and groom have lived together for 10 years, the BBC story says, quoting the groom, who is a postman: "Cecilia is such a trusting creature. We cuddle all the time and she has always slept in my bed."

Hope the couple is very happy.
