Outlined in a story that Dutch Daily News imaginatively titled 'Man Marries Cat', thirty nine year-old Uwe Mitzscherlich married his cat, Cecilia, after she was declared terminally ill, in the town of Possendorf in Germany. Postman Mitzshcerlich apparently paid an actress three hundred euros to officiate at the wedding ceremony. He had lived with his feline fiancée for ten years, and described how close they were, and how 'their hearts beat as one'.
Now, most people would find such a story hilarious, or just plain ludricous; I however can't help but see a grain of tragedy within. The only creature on this plaet that this man feels in any way close to, and it's not even another human being. Certainly food for thought about the world we live in.
But it is quite funny too.
