Grumpy Cat, Internet Meme Celebrity with a Piercing Look of Contempt, is Dead at 7 Years Old.

Grumpy Cat, the ubiquitous internet celebrity whose permanent scowl spoke for all of us in our darkest moments, died in the arms of her “mommy” on Tuesday, her family said on Friday. She was 7 years old.

The cat, whose actual name is Tardar Sauce and who hailed from Arizona, died after complications arose from a urinary tract infection, her family wrote on Twitter.

“Besides being our baby and a cherished member of the family, Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — even when times were tough,” according to the post.

Many cats have had moments of mini-fame on the internet, but few, if any, have had the reach and staying power of Grumpy Cat. She first rose to prominence six years ago, after her owner posted a photo to Reddit, captioned “Meet grumpy cat.”

The sourpuss with the piercing look of contempt quickly became a meme, and placing bold words above and below her frown became a common way for humans to express grumpy thoughts.

Perhaps the most famous: “I had fun once. It was awful.”

Grumpy Cat’s visage was named the Meme of the Year at the 2013 Webby Awards, beating out “Gangnam Style” and “Harlem Shake.” Many memes come and go, but her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, turned the cat’s face into the center of a thriving business.

Her likeness appeared on nearly 900 items in an official shop, she made a television advertisement for “Honey Nut Cheerios,” and she became the official “spokescat” of Friskies, a cat food brand. The cat starred in a Lifetime Christmas movie, “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” she was on the cover of New York Magazine, and her book hit No. 7 on The New York Times’s advice, how-to and miscellaneous best-seller list.

Estimates ranged widely on how much Grumpy Cat was worth, though Ms. Bundesen disputed a 2014 report that the cat had earned her $100 million. In 2018, Ms. Bundesen won $710,000 in a copyright infringement suit against a coffee company that made Grumpy Cat Grumppuccino.

Info: Tardar Sauce, commonly known as Grumpy Cat, was an American internet celebrity cat. She was known for her permanently "grumpy" facial appearance, which was caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism.

Born: April 4, 2012
Died: May 14, 2019
Species: Felis catus
Named after: Tartar sauce
Owner: Tabatha Bundesen
Residence: Morristown, Arizona, U.S

My cat lived 15+ years, but i believe Grumpy Cat had a lot of defects shortening her lifespan.

Yes, Grumpy Cat was saved. I talk to him on the phone prior to his passing.

SF1900: "Hello Grumpy Cat."
Grumpy Cat: "Meow, meow."
SF1900: "Do you repent all of your sins?"
Grumpy Cat: "Meow, meow."
SF1900: "You are saved."
Grumpy Cat: "Meow, meow."

So you're asking us to believe that it was a congenital disorder of some sort that runs in the family, and not the 'roids...?  Hmmm.. how convenient...

The kitteh committed suicide whilst transitioning to Tom Cat status.  The owner said that sHe (Grumpy Cat) would become simultaneously confused and aroused when viewing itself in any reflective surface.  Additionally, the cat's family was historically predisposed to species dysmorphia and on more than a few occasions found the cat passed out in front of the TV with "Lassie" playing on loop, wearing a collar that said "Fido" and an old copy of "Pethouse" magazine in it's lap.

Entertainment Tonight also reported (via anonymous sources) that the cat was still despondent over being passed up for a recurring role on "Game of Thrones" having been beaten out by a human midgie for the role of "Tyrion" (Grumpy cat suffered from feline dwarfism). 

All these factors coupled with a heavy addiction to Catnip made for what amounts to a hell on Earf for the much loved feline who was found slumped over what had been a "four fingered" bag of Catnip and  a half eaten weeks supply of Fancy Feast still clutching a  sealed letter marked for delivery to Peter Dinklage in her left paw...Sad....So freakin' sad.

'n' sheit.

'Species dysmorphia'  Haahahaaaaha! 
'Pethouse' Magazine..  Haahahaaaaha!

Surely, if these things don't exist yet, they are on their way to us... Scott, you are a  (twisted) visionary  8)

Our previous feline was a Catnip addict, but the new one shows no interest whatever - but - displays junky behavior whenever he smells (old fashioned, strong) bleach..!?  Go figure...

Supposedly close to 100 million, but the owner denies that figure.
