According to cat experts it is a symbol of devotion and affection.
Why can't I marry my cat then?

In the event that you are actually being serious here - because your cat cannot legally consent to take part in such a union, in the same way that a child or a lump of coal or a blow-up doll cannot legally consent to it. Another adult human, regardless of sex, can.
