»Marry your pet«

So you've found your partner for life, only thing is - he's an animal. Not just that he leaves hair in the bath and has abominable table manners, but that really he's an animal, i.e. with feathers, scales or whatnot.

But forget his facial hair. So what if he has an overabundance of legs, or must hibernate each winter? All that matters is that you adore him.

So go on, if you really love him and you're in this for life, isn't it time you married your pet ?

Everyone at work was always teasing me that it was time I got married, then one said "he'd have more luck with his dog." And I thought, yep, he's got a point there. And that's how I decided to marry Tims. He's my number one buddy for life."

I guess I found my perfect partner in Wilfred. He's an oldish cat, quite lazy and set in his ways. He is affectionate and likes to curl up on my lap, but he's also very independent and we don't cramp each others style. I guess we're quite similar really, so together we can just be ourselves. Neither of us is 16 anymore. We like our food and home comforts, and snuggling up in front of the fire. It seemed like a fun idea to marry Wilfred but it's actually very sensible. I don't think either of us has ever been so content
