Is El Gato Dead? The Truth Behind the Rumors

El Gato is a popular nickname for several people and animals, but recently it has been associated with two different deaths that have caused confusion and sadness among the fans. In this article, we will clarify who is El Gato and what happened to them.

Eduardo Romero: The Cat of Golf

One of the most famous El Gatos was Eduardo Romero, an Argentine professional golfer who won eight titles on the European Tour and five on the Champions Tour. He was nicknamed El Gato (The Cat) for his way of winning sneakily without the opponent’s knowledge. He was also known for his charismatic personality and his passion for the sport.

Romero was born in Córdoba in 1954 and turned professional in 1982. He played extensively in Latin America and represented Argentina in the World Cup and the Alfred Dunhill Cup numerous times. He reached the top 20 of the Official World Golf Ranking and became the third oldest winner on the European Tour when he won the Scottish Open in 2002. He also won two senior majors: the JELD-WEN Tradition in 2006 and the U.S. Senior Open in 2008.

Unfortunately, Romero died on February 13, 2022, at the age of 67 at his home in Villa Allende, Córdoba Province, Argentina. According to ESPN, he was battling cancer. His death was announced by the PGA Tour Latinoamérica, which renamed the Abierto del Centro in his memory. Romero was mourned by the golf world as a legend and a friend.

El Gato Cat: The TikTok Star

Another El Gato that has been in the news lately is El Gato Cat, a fluffy white cat that became a viral sensation on TikTok. El Gato Cat is not his real name, but a misheard sound from a clip in season three of the anime Demon Slayer, where the character Sumo thanks Tengen Uzui and says “arigato” (thank you), leading people to think he said “el gato”. The sound was used as a background for many videos featuring El Gato Cat and his adorable antics.

El Gato Cat’s real name is Ba Bem, and he belongs to a Brazilian owner who posts videos of him on TikTok under the username @babemcat. Ba Bem has over 8 million followers and 200 million likes on the platform, making him one of the most popular cats on the internet. He is also known for his expressive face and his love for food.

Sadly, Ba Bem passed away on June 11, 2023, due to complications from a surgery. His owner announced the news on TikTok with a heartfelt video tribute, saying that Ba Bem was his best friend and that he will always love him. The video received over 50 million views and 10 million comments, with many fans expressing their condolences and their gratitude for the joy that Ba Bem brought to their lives.

Conclusion

El Gato is a name that has been given to different individuals who have made an impact on their respective fields. Whether it was golf or social media, they both shared a common trait: they were loved by many. Their deaths have left a void in the hearts of their fans, but their memories will live on forever. Rest in peace, El Gato.
