THE bride looks divine in her white wedding dress, while her groom cuts a dashing figure, resplendent in a black tuxedo and red bow-tie.

It’s fair to say the happy couple are the cat’s whiskers, and indeed rather apt, as these are a pair of Shanghai felines tying the knot on a red carpet on a lawn, under the loving gaze of their owner and her friends.

The cats’ wedding — complete with bridal bouquets, balloons and a “marriage certificate” signed by little paw prints — was arranged by a pet matchmaking company founded by five students at the Shanghai Normal University.
