Cat is so excited that her parents are getting married! (Gallery)
Cats are excellent judges of character. So, if your kitty likes somebody, that’s usually a very very good sign.
Just ask Vanessa Richards, who thanks to her cat, is now getting married to her cat approved fiancé.
Meet Smokky the cat!

Richards had adopted Smokky when she was just a kitten, when a friend took in a pregnant stray and gave birth to Smokky and four brothers.
Smokky is a loud sassy cat and charms everyone she meets. She also enjoyed being the one and only love in her mom’s life… but that was until her mom started dating a new boyfriend.

"I am a self-confessed 'crazy cat lady', so naturally I always hoped I would end up with someone who shared my appreciation," Richards told The Dodo. "Tom grew up with and always liked cats, but like a lot of guys, I think he was a bit more of a dog person at heart. I think Smokky definitely changed that, however."

At first, Smokky was shy and suspicious of this stranger that entered their purrfect world. So, when the couple decided to move in together, Smokky had to decide whether Tom was worth it or not. Luckily, he passed with flying colors.
"Around the third day since I moved her in, I was away for the evening and Tom sent me a Snapchat with Smokky contently snuggling on his shoulder," Richards said. "From that moment, they have had a beautiful bond, and he is an excellent 'cat daddy'!"

Tom proposed to Richards recently, and naturally, they wanted to include their fur baby in the announcement.
"Anyone familiar with cats knows that you definitely can't make them do anything they don't want to, so we just put her in place, called her name waving some treats, and snapped pictures like crazy hoping for the best," Richards said. "And the final result was better than we could have hoped for! Our family and friends were all delighted by our announcement."

"Before I met Tom, Smokky was mine, but now she is ours and we are a happy little family of three," Richards said.
