It’s finally summer! Eh, it’s supposed to be summer! So it’s time for another Cat of the Month! I know this one is earlier than usual. But that’s because I’m going to be gone for the weekend to Belgium! Next to that, this is going to be a special Cat Of the Month!
You can find the previous COTM – May here.
This beautiful lady is Evangeline. Born in 2000, and passed away on June 7, 2012. Evangeline is a cat rescued by Alienredqueen. She was approximately a year and four months old when ARQ got her from the Humane Society. Evangeline (also called ‘Princess Putter Pants’) made her laugh, she was her buddy. She would keep her company, Evangeline became her baby.
Sadly, she passed away on June, the 7th. Probably from either saddle thrombus or cancer. She passed away on ARQ’s lap when they were on their way to the vet. Evangeline was roughly 11 or 12 when she passed away.
This pretty shorthaired tabby-lady liked cuddling on the couch with ARQ and she went bonkers for catnip. She liked to sit with her when ARQ took a bath. She was a ‘dignified lady’.
Your favorite chair is vacant now…
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it’s time for feeding.
I’ve put away your bowl, and all
The things you won’t be needing;But I will miss you little friend,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;
I’m sure there’ll be a place for you
In Heaven’s bright tomorrow…By Alice E. Chase.

Evangeline is Cat of The Month on Cats & Co! What a great way to honor my little buddy’s memory….
Oh sweetie Evangeline. I love this tribute!
I agree!
Sniffling… Thanks Dianda.
I know right. I couldn’t help but to shed a tear too.
Many purrs for Evangeline’s memory. What a lovely tribute.
Too sad Evangeline’s past away, but I’m sure she’ll be looking with a smile up from heaven by seeing all the touched people who are reading this tribute. She was beautiful
what a wonderful poem, made my eyes watery. They dont become watery easily. So easy a connection is made with a small photograph and some four lines, that after reading, the little heart aches for the furry departed friend! Evangeline you will be missed. Thanks for sharing about Evangeline and the so wonderful dedicated poem. sniff.
Sorry to hear that Evangeline passed away. Your post is a wonderful tribute.
Thanks, Bassa!
Beautiful cat! Sorry for her loss. I just lost my Siamese of 17 years. Loved her very much.
Awe, I’m so sorry to hear.
17 is pretty old for a cat.
Did she die because it was her time to go at that age? Or was she sick?
she had cancer
Oh, I’m sorry.
It’s a horrible disease.
Just stopping by to revisit Neeners. Thanks for all the kind words from everyone about my little Putter Pants.
It has almost been a year already. Putter pants will always be remembered.
