Oct 01, 2019 by apost team

A Brooklyn man named Aaron Benitez got married – and his cat, Prince Michael, served as the best man.

That may not be such a surprise, as Benitez and Prince Michael are long-time partners with a Youtube channel, “Aaron’s Animals” that boasts over two million followers. The Youtube channel chronicles the adventures of Benitez, Prince Michael and assorted other animals.

Benitez had adopted Prince Michael while the latter was a kitten. At the time, Benitez was living in a studio apartment with his brother and best friend. The three young men would take Prince Michael on walks and subway rides, and they noticed how quickly he adapted to new places and people. Later, they decided to make videos featuring the feline, and he proved to be a “natural.”

Prince Michael also helped Benitez choose his bride. For starters, she also had to love cats and get along with Prince Michael. That was no problem for Michelle. Benitez’s wedding also had to be cat-friendly. The venue for the reception had to allow cats, and the caterer had to be able to prepare Prince Michael’s favorite food, which is salmon. The DJ had to promise not to play “Who Let the Dogs Out," Benitez told People.

Prince Michael’s background as an entertainer served him well during the wedding, as did his “super chill” personality. The cat wore a custom-made tuxedo, posed for photos, and strutted down the aisle during the ceremony. He also entertained the guests. The solid grey cat is a British Shorthair. Cats of this breed are known for their calm and placid dispositions according to Pet Plan, and their ability to get along with just about everybody.
