Fur better or worse: postman Uwe Mitzscherlich marries his cat

A GERMAN postman has "married" his obese and asthmatic cat, saying he wanted to tie the knot before his pet died.

"Cecilia is such a trusting creature. We cuddle all the time, and she has always slept in my bed," single Uwe Mitzscherlich, 39, told Bild newspaper.

"Our hearts beat as one - it's unique!"
