A German postman has ‘‘married’’ his dying cat Cecilia.
The asthmatic cat and her new husband have lived together for 10 years.
"Cecilia is such a trusting creature. We cuddle all the time and she has always slept in my bed," Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, said.
A vet told Mr Mitzscherlich that Cecilia would not live much longer and he soon paid an actress €300 to perform the marriage as marrying an animal is illegal in Germany.
Actress Christin-Maria Lohri, who officiated the ceremony, said: "At first I thought it was a joke. But for Mr Mitzscherlich it’s a dream come true".
