Marble

June 1, 2024: Marble died peacefully this morning while being told how much everyone loved her. We guess she was about 14 or so years old. What a trooper. Nearly blind and deaf, she held her own with the other cats, avoided raccoon visitors and wandered the farm in all kinds of weather. However the tumour in her abdomen was too big a battle for her to overcome. Somehow animals keep going and going even though they are very ill. In 24 hours from yesterday to today, she travelled 4 kms! She had lots and lots of Temptations last night and this morning. A gentle cat who had the best purr. She will be with Rosie again.

Marble is mostly blind and somewhat deaf. She is still able to get around The Shed and goes on long circular walks around the farm. Last summer we decided to get a Tractive GPS tracker for her as she became a bit disoriented and got lost one evening. It is fascinating to see how far she walks in a day but also great piece of mind that we can find her.
