Third World’s Cat Coore hospitalized – Caribbean Life

Heather Cameron, the manager of legendary Jamaican reggae band Third World, has provided what she described as “an accurate account of the events surrounding” the hospitalization of Third World member Cat Coore.

Cameron said on 17 December that Coore was admitted on 29 November 2022 to the University of the West Indies Hospital in Kingston, Jamaica “to repair an idiopathic tear in the lower oesophagus”.

“The following day, a specialist surgical team performed this surgery successfully,” Cameron said. “Due to the nature and location of the surgery, the cat has been fed and hydrated intravenously. This standard protocol helps to rest the esophagus, speeds healing and was expected to last at least 10 days.

His spirits were good, and he enjoyed playing guitar and watching the World Cup to help pass the time while he healed. He also took the time to speak to IRIE FM to let his fans know he was recovering well and appreciated the outpouring of love and support he received.”

On December 12, 2022, Cameron said: “The cat appeared to be developing some cold-like respiratory symptoms.”
