Half-Cocked: "A Cat Wedding, Tonight at 10"

"A Cat Wedding, Tonight at 10"

Those were the words from Channel 8's, Dick Janda, in his little "news" update halfway through Desperate Housewives last night. I missed it so thank Gawd the the local rag covered it on the front page of the print edition today.

Love was in the air when Armand and Cassie met. The two were getting holiday pictures taken at Petsmart, 5200 N. 27th St. Just by looking at how they interacted, loved ones knew the cats were meant to be married.
...
On Sunday, both owners carried their cats down the aisle at the Petsmart where the felines first met. Genevieve Randall, a flutist, played "The Pink Panther" for the ceremony's processional.
...
Armand wore a black velvet and satin vest with a top hat. Cassie wore a white gown with gold California poppy attached to it. California pet-clothing designer Mary Catron designed the wedding garb for the bride and groom.
...
The cats exchanged collars as wedding bands: Cassie received a pink one with her name spelled in crystals; Armand got one adorned with gold-colored Egyptian beads.

Armand's and Cassie's owners are the kind of people who will end up with a carpet of fur in their basement in a few years.

I don't understand people's obsession with their pets. I mean, I understand that people love their pets and even see them as part of the family, but having a wedding ceremony? I don't understand why people dress their dogs, much less marry their cats.
