You have a year. Time for quiet reflection . . .
So, are you really going to marry an ass'*le that won't let you have a cat?
Brideshead Revisited?
This Side of Paradise?
A Good Man is Hard to Find?
Save Me the Waltz?
The House of Mirth?
Brave New World?
Tender is the Night?
A Streetcar Named Desire?
Paradise Regained?
I went to an AMAZING literature themed wedding on Sunday. Amazing.
These are great - thanks Jennie and Scatters!

He has now said I can have one... but he would have nothing to do with it, and wouldn't feed it, pay anything for it or look after it.

He's a keeper.
On the book subject... 
One Day by David Nicholls (Fave book of recent times... though considering the ending maybe not.)
Comedy answer :
Paradise Lost by John Milton

In which case I think your avatar is the perfect response to him!
His arguments do have grounding - I'm just a cat spinster in the making.

He'd ignore the needs of an animal, even if it was suffering? That's the actual test they use to expose soulless replicants in Blade Runner! Oh, L. E. 
I think he's just trying to say it would be my cat.

You should say the same thing to him about any future kids.
Anyway, that's good news! Cat time!
I can't get a cat without his support. I'm out a lot... it would be cruel.
Although I reckon cute kitteh eyes would work on him.
