It's not every day you see kittens get married...


...and alas unless you know who bought this little gem you won't be able to in future either.
In 2003 Mr Potter's Museum of Curiosity, which housed dozens of bizarre works of Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter was closed, and the collection sold at auction for over £500,000 ($850,000 US).
An offer by British artist Damien Hurst to buy the collection outright and keep it intact failed, and consequently the pieces were sold separately.
I visited the museum in the late 90s when it housed the collection as part of the Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor. The Inn sold it to be able to build new accomodation for guests.
Mr Potter was from Sussex, England, and the pieces were originally displayed at the old pier in Brighton.
