Dominique Lesbirel got hitched to her feline friend eight years ago and spent 16 years together in total, but was left heartbroken when he died as a result of kidney failure.

She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: ''Putting Doerack to sleep was horrible, I've had him since he was three, but I feel lucky to have had 16 lovely years with him.''

And although she's not ready to move on just yet, she confessed she is now considering marrying her new love, a dog named Travis.

She added: ''It sounds strange but I wouldn't marry Travis just yet.

''It's still too soon after the death of Doerack.''
