THREE “bridal cats” stole the limelight at a wedding ceremony in Kelantan, reported Harian Metro.

Wearing songket, flowery dresses and accessories, Louissa, Pocci and Snowy supported by their respective owners accompanied the bride, Nor Shahibah Yusoff, 23, on her walk to the wedding dais at a hall in Guchil Bayam, Kota Baru, last Saturday.

The groom, Wan Mohd Nasoha Wan Mohd Zain, 39, said the video of the three cats went viral after his cousin uploaded it on social media.

“I run a cat grooming service and my wife’s brother often sends his cat to my place. We became friends and I (eventually) got to know my wife,” he said, adding that they dated for about a year before tying the knot last August.

He added that although it was their special day, Louissa, Pocci and Snowy were the focus and many guests came to take pictures with the felines.
