A woman married to her 2 male Cats celebrates 10 years anniversarry

Barbarella Buchner broke up with her partner of 7 years married to her 2 Male Cat.

When Barbarella Buchner broke up with her partner of seven years, she thought that she would never find love again.

But then the 48-year-old realised her soulmates had been standing in front for her the whole time – her two cats.

Barbarella married her two male pet cats called Spider and Lugosi, and they celebrated their 10-year anniversary in January.

She even proved her everlasting devotion to her two feline husbands by getting their initials tattooed on her right leg.

The web designer from Forest Gate, London says: “My two cats are my soul mates. They’re the loves of my life.

“Before when I had a human relationship, he’d come home and we’d argue over something or he’d want to chat when I don’t want to chat.

“Lugosi and Spider are different – I’m definitely happily married to them.

“I’m not alone, I have my cats now. I have no regrets and I don’t care what people say.”

Cat-mad Barbarella has always been an animal lover. Growing up, she always had pet moggies.

She says: “As a child, I was always surrounded by cats – our family always owned at least one or two of them.

“I can’t remember ever not being a cat lover or a lover of animals in general. But cats have always been my favourite.”

However Barbarella was never satisfied with the relationship she had with her family cats – and always wanted some pets to call her very own.

She explains: “Those cats were never my cats. They were adopted by my parents.

“I couldn’t have the relationship I wanted to because I didn’t feed our family cats. My parents fed them.

“I didn’t take them to the vets. My parents took them to the vets. The cats were more of a plaything to me at the time.

“But of course, my parents always taught me from an early age to respect cats and not be nasty to them.”

When Barbarella finally got the chance to adopt her own cats at the age of 34, she took the opportunity very seriously.

She says: “For me, it was like when you know you’re having a baby. Before you have a baby or adopt a child, you look on the internet to learn as much as possible.

“You read lots of books and attend support groups. That’s what I did as well before I adopted my cats.”

In March 2000, Barbarella adopted her 8-month-old tabby cats from an animal shelter in East London.

She says, “It was love at first sight when I laid my eyes on my two boys, Lugosi and Spider. I’ll never forget that day.

“They were rubbing themselves against the mesh and purring. It was all over – I knew I wanted those cats!

“I could tell the feeling of love was mutual judging by their purrs and the way they were brushing their little faces against the inside of their cage.

“These two tabby brothers were coming home with me!”

Barbarella – who now lives in Lanzarote, Spain – has been in a few long-term relationships with men but has never married.

She explains “I never really wanted to get married to any of my human partners and I didn’t know if I had it in me to be a wife.

“Some women are built to clean up after their men. I’m not like that.

“But I never minded being my cats’ servants. I’m not a submissive person but I’ll do anything for Lugosi and Spider.”

Barbarella says Lugosi and Spider were a comfort to her after her most serious relationship with her then-boyfriend broke down.
