Chris Poole, a well-known advocate for feline welfare and the creative mind behind the beloved YouTube duo Cole and Marmalade, recently shared a video that has cat lovers everywhere in stitches. While his audience is used to wholesome footage of his two famous cats, Chris decided to shift his focus to a group of newly rescued kittens, resulting in a night full of hilarious and heartwarming discoveries.
Curious about why the kittens appeared so sluggish during the day, Chris suspected they might be burning off their energy overnight. As any cat aficionado would guess, these kitties were just following their natural nocturnal rhythm. So, to uncover their nighttime escapades, Chris installed a night vision camera in their enclosure to record what really happens when the lights go out.
The resulting footage was nothing short of entertaining. Once night fell, the kittens displayed an explosion of energy—jumping, sprinting, play-fighting, and even climbing the sides of their enclosure. Despite their sleepy daytime demeanor, they were bright-eyed acrobats under the cover of darkness.
“Hello, cat people! I’ve got some pretty exciting news,” Chris greeted in the video. “We’re currently fostering four very cute kittens that we helped rescue from a nearby abandoned property… So I’ve decided to set up my night vision camera and see what action I could capture. And I wasn’t disappointed!”
- One kitten licked the camera lens
- Another climbed the cage like a seasoned gymnast
- A cardboard box became a trampoline for late-night leaping
The video further showed Chris adding new elements to their play area, like a small cat pole topped with fuzzy toys. Even at 3 a.m., the kittens wasted no time batting at the fuzzy balls, climbing for a better view, and pouncing on shadows. Their energy was infectious and their movement—both agile and curious—showcased just how much life and humor these young animals bring into a home.
Another particularly amusing moment included a kitten tumbling mid-leap after misjudging a jump—harmless, but absolutely adorable. The entire enclosure had turned into a miniature jungle gym fueled by uncontainable kitten enthusiasm.
It’s important to know that these kittens were recently rescued and are still adjusting to human contact. Chris emphasized the need for patience and care during this transition period.
“These four cuties are still pretty feral,” he shared. “It’s going to take some time for them to get used to us big scary humans, but I’m confident that over time and with lots of TLC, they’ll learn to love us and we’ll get them ready to be adopted into new forever homes.”
His words underscored how rewarding—and often humorous—the fostering process can be. Even the shyest creatures can slowly begin to thrive with compassion, routine, and a safe environment. Nighttime footage like this doesn’t just make audiences laugh; it reveals the complex personalities and innocence of these often-overlooked animals.

Chris Poole continues to melt hearts across the internet—not just by entertaining us with kitten chaos, but by highlighting the power of kindness, the joy of foster work, and the importance of giving animals a second chance. The rescued kittens, once timid and unsure, are now lively, expressive, and well on their way to finding loving homes.
