A woman has married her pet cat in a bid to stop future landlords from separating them. Deborah Hodge, 49, claims she has previously been forced to rehome three animals by landlords who did not allow pets in their properties.
Now facing eviction and terrified of losing five-year-old India, Deborah, from Sidcup, south east London, held a civil ceremony on April 19 to tie the knot. The single mother-of-two hopes her commitment will show future landlords just how important it is for her that they stay together.
She said: "I had nothing to lose and everything to gain so I married my cat! I recited vows under the universe that no man will ever tear myself and India apart.
