Yesterday I received a new Google mail notification about Cole and Marmalade. Cole and Marmalade's owner Chris Poole regularly posted You-Tube videos on the antics of his two beloved cats. The American couple obviously is an animal lover and very much a cat-lover.
Marmalade (or Marm) the young orange tabby, is recently found to be suffering from lymphoma, a common cancer in cats. The tumour was already removed through surgery, however it is quite common for the cancer to come back and spread to the other organs besides the intestine. It is not a good prospect. Marmalade's owners are devastated by the news. I am devastated too, as I have followed Marmalade's development on You-Tube and Facebook (the fb page is Cole and Marmalade). I had very often attached Marmalade videos onto my WhatsApp messages to my friends. I feel like Cole and Marm are my cats too. There is a part of me that is very sensitive to animal suffering. I also have strong empathy for grieving pet owners. I still remember the grim period of the last few months of my beloved cat Benjamin's life. The trauma and devastation of having to euthanise him at the very end is something that I really really pray I will not have to go through again.
Dearest Marm, all my love, may you recover completely, my prayers are with you and your family all the way. You are young, strong, feisty and you will defeat the cancer!
