I like to think this man is about to marry his boyfriend. And I like to think that his cat’s affection for this man is what convinced him to consider the man’s proposal. I imagine that the cat used to belong to the boyfriend’s lover who died a couple of years ago, and that even though the boyfriend cared for the man in the suit a great deal, he couldn't imagine settling down again after his lover passed away…but the cat made him realize that he needed to move on and open himself up to the future rather than living in the past. I imagine that the boyfriend never told the man in the suit any of this, but every time he sees his cat and the man making nice with each other he is reassured he made the right decision.
