A German man has unofficially married his cat after the animal fell ill and vets told him it might not live much longer, Bild newspaper reports.

It says Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, paid an actress 300 euros (£260,$395) to officiate at the ceremony, as marrying an animal is illegal in Germany.

Mr Mitzscherlich said he had wanted to tie the knot before his asthmatic cat Cecilia died.

The cat and groom 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," Mr Mitzscherlich, a postman from the eastern town of Possendorf, told Bild.

Actress Christin-Maria Lohri, who officiated the ceremony, was quoted as saying: "At first I thought it was a joke. But for Mr Mitzscherlich it's a dream come true".

I have a LOT to say about this...

But it's not exactly appropriate, so I'll keep my mouth shut

Do you...understand the subtext here/reason people generally get married?

People get married because they love each other. Did he just really like the cat?

No. He seems to be in love with the cat.

Here's another article about it:

As long as he doesn't have sex with his asthmatic cat, I totally don't care.

You and I are on the same page on that one. But then again let the guy do whatever he wants with his cat. As long as the catconsents to it.

pet owners do strange things when it comes to their pets, and the cat is dying. It's probably his way of dealing with it.

and really, bestiality don't comes spontaneously after the "I do", "meow".

I don't understand.

Japanese guy can marry a anime girl, too. Love is everything.

Yeah, exactly. Alot of pet owners form extremely deep emotional bonds with their animals (harr harr no sexual jokes) so if it's really as simple as it seems, kudos to him. Provided it is completely innocent I think its sweet that he wants it 'certified by god' (and some actress) that he and his beloved cat live for one another. I would imagine he is quite lonely though...

That would explain a lot, actually. A rich cat that talks.
