I've loved my male American Longhair Cat for 9 years but this is sick!

Gotta love their Disclaimer though:
Please note that by marrying your pet he/she may
be entitled to half your house and all your
income. You are not allowed to mistreat your pet
in any way. You cannot make him pick up your
pants, put up with your nostril hair or use him
as a general dogsbody - even if he is indeed a
dog. You may not get excessively fat {give me a
break!}. You may not embarrass your pet at any
time. Marriage is for life* or until your
contract expires.

[i]Oh but there's a "divorceyourpet.com" button at
the bottom.[/i]

* you may not kill your pet.

I can't believe there is even this kind of website. It's bad enough that some folks really take it this serious, but to put together a webstie to encourage others?

Waaaaaayyyy over the top.

Marc, those of us who oppose gay marriage ask, where will it end? What's next? And websites such as this one lend credence to our concerns.

Wait 'til the marriage amendment people get wind of this!

cleary have way too much free time on their hands.
And I am an animal lover...2 cats and a dog.

We've got our eye on you Diane. x:=|

Now, now Ray - remember who found this site and originated the post?

Have you made an honest cat out of fluffy yet?

ray a · July 2006

Her name is Weedle.

LarryC · July 2006

There is no such thing as an "honest cat".

Ray, why don't you explain why your cat is named "Weedle"?

ray a · July 2006

Her full name was Wacky Weedle given to her by a previous owner. She actually is dead, so I'm a free man again.

So, according to that website, how long must you wait before you remarry?

ray a · July 2006

Hey, this is the 21st century. Emily Post went out of style years ago. Whenever one finds the right mate... er... cat.

Apparently free time isn't a problem for alot of folks. That is the only explanation for the rash of new Myspace-style websites for pets including dogster.com, catster.com and my personal favorite: hamsterster.com

Actually, if you were married to your pet, you might want to check out who your pet is e-mailing on their personal web page.

From what I have heard, cats are prone to online affairs.

LarryC · August 2006

Cats are nothing but prone period.

I love my cats an awful, awful lot, but I love my husband more.

Anybody check out the already married page? There's a polygamist - one lady married both her cats.

OK, maybe that's my hangup. I'd have to choose only one, and both my indoor cats are female so that brings a whole new dimention to it. Then again, gay pet marriage isn't that big of a leap from pet marriage, so who cares.

Having trouble finding a restaurant that'll seat you, the spouse, and your party for the rehearsal dinner? Quite coincidentally, today's Chicago Sun-Times has a big article on more and more local restaurants catering to people and their pets. It doesn't mention whether any banquet rooms would be available for such, uh, affairs. tk

I love my 10 yr old mini schnauzer but marry her?? noooo I adopted her and EVERYTHING I have is hers not just half. If I should die before her she is even provided for in my will, but marrying your pet is just not right.

Paul in Cannon Beach · August 2006

"Gay pet marriage" - I wonder if the founding fathers ever concieved that those three words would ever be strung together.

I admire my cat, Harrison. He is a natural born killer. Lives by his own rules. A rebel. Answers to no one. He is a sleek, furry ninja.
