Grumpy Cat is the grumpiest cat. The whole truth | Blogger anekdot39 on the website SPLETNIK.RU June 7, 2013

Care and maintenance

Unlike their wild relatives, caraquetas are adapted for living in city apartments. In general, caring for hybrid cats is no different from caring for representatives of other breeds:

The coat of a hybrid cat does not require complex grooming. In normal times, the caraquet's fur is combed weekly with a rubber brush or mitten. During the molting period, the procedure for removing dead hairs is carried out every day.
Although caraquetas are not afraid of water and can easily tolerate washing, they are bathed no more than once every 3-4 months. Bath procedures are carried out in a warm room, away from drafts. It is recommended to use shampoos for short-haired breeds.
Typically, caracats grind their claws down on a well-attached scratching post. But if necessary, you can use a nail clipper.
The ears of a hybrid cat are wiped once every 10 days with a cotton pad moistened with a special lotion or boiled water.
The caracat's eyes are regularly washed to remove dark deposits in the corners. Dirt is carefully removed with a soft cloth moistened with a decoction of herbs.

Breed "Grumpy Cat"

Mom Tard, a mongrel street cat, was picked up by her owner Tatana on the street. The cat found herself in a very difficult situation. She gave birth to kittens and was simply exhausted, lying on the ground motionless, barely showing signs of life. The kind girl did not even suspect that she had found her happiness in life when she helped an unfortunate animal. I took her home and gave her water to drink, and adopted the newborn kittens. Among them was a kitten with a slightly deformed muzzle, whom Tatana named Pokey. It was the elder brother Tard.

A year later, the mother cat gave birth to several more kittens, including the future world Internet star, “Grumpy Cat.”

Therefore, the breed of a cat with sad eyes is very uncertain. Although, if you look closely, you will notice that based on the color of its face, the breed of the saddest cat in the world could be identified as Burmese. But, looking at her short legs, you can see that the breed of a dissatisfied cat is somewhat reminiscent of a munchkin.

Tard is a mongrel cat who was born with a deformed muzzle and has problems with her hind legs. The baby walks poorly, often falls, and her movements are somewhat retarded. An angry cat meows in a somewhat strange voice. Despite everything, she is very affectionate, friendly to strangers, loves to play, like all cats in the world.

Sad cat success story

On September 22, 2012, the brother of the owner of the unusual cat posted her photo online. Users did not immediately believe that the photographs were realistic, so they subsequently had to shoot a video to confirm.

Numerous memes immediately appeared with funny captions against the backdrop of the cat’s skeptical face, which were actively reposted by social network users.

The saddest cat is Tard.

The cat’s unusual appearance endeared him to netizens, surprising, delighting, and invariably causing a smile. The animal was immediately dubbed Grumpy cat, the saddest cat. Sometimes he is also called angry. Due to the deformed jaw, the expression of the muzzle with the corners of the lips downturned gives the cat a gloomy and sad appearance.

Grumpy cat can be found at social parties, popular TV channels about animals, and in advertising for cat food. The eternally dissatisfied cat is present in memes and demotivators.

The story of the sad cat begins in the fall of 2012. At this time, the owner’s brother posted a photo of her on the Internet, where her pussy was only six months old.

The photo attracted a lot of attention, but at the same time raised doubts.

The photo of the saddest cat looked unrealistic, and users believed that it had been put through an editor.

The cat's dissatisfied face made her famous, making her an Internet star. The owner of the animal was able to quit her job as a waitress and began to make good money from the popularity of her pet.

Cat breeds

Each breed of animal is determined by specific features in appearance and character traits that are unique to it - this is called the breed standard, which must be recognized by various organizations of felinologists (TICA, FIFe, WCF, CFA, IFA, ICU, WACC, etc.) for each of them own rules of recognition. All purebred cats are given pedigrees.

One of the most amazing and mysterious breeds is the Maine Coon - a gentle giant with a serious look. These creatures are called “indoor lynxes,” which is not surprising, because... they are one of the largest domestic cats.

All over the world this breed is called “Scottish Fold”, but we are more accustomed to calling these cute cats “Scottish Fold”. Their “cute” appearance will not leave anyone indifferent - you immediately want to pick up such a creature and cuddle it.

Millions of people around the world cannot imagine their existence without such “plush” bundles of happiness. These aristocratic, friendly, charismatic and very clean pets have long been one of the most popular cat breeds on the planet.

Bengal cats are incredibly beautiful animals that combine the spectacular appearance of wild predators and the docile nature of pets. Well, the main “feature” of these creatures is their “leopard color,” which is why they are called “domestic leopards.”

Siamese - graceful oriental beauties and beauties (who managed to preserve their roots almost in their original form) stand out for their special grace, temperamental character and a certain diminutiveness.

Among the many breeds, there is one endowed with incredible elegance and grace - this is the Abyssinian cat - an intelligent, flexible and dexterous creature. There is a certain mystery and special sophistication in her, and her appearance is called “divine.”

This breed is distinguished by its special silver-blue color and piercing green eyes. Russian blue cats are “real noblewomen.” These are graceful and mysterious creatures, delighting their owners with a playful but obedient disposition.

Siberian cats are considered real Russian beauties for their expressive eyes, chic “fur coat” and friendly character. They have long won the hearts of many cat lovers... a very long time ago - the first mentions of them are found in the 16th century.

The Oriental cat, at first glance, is impressive with its ears (in comparison with the body and head, they seem simply huge). This is a wonderful friend and you cannot betray him (the cat will not understand if you give it to another person).

Charming “Siberians” with a “Siamese” color, a chic hypoallergenic “fur coat” and an easy-going disposition are the pride of Russian felinologists from the banks of the Neva... Dmitry Medvedev got himself a kitten of this particular breed, and Vladimir Putin gave one to the Prime Minister of Japan.

Long-haired or fluffy breeds of domestic cats

Persian

These are some of the most popular. And this is well deserved: in addition to unearthly beauty, they have a wonderful character. Very domestic, perhaps the calmest of cats, they will love all members of the family, or they can choose their favorite owner, especially revered and respected. Regardless of this, they get along well with children and behave very correctly in games. Considered “couch” cats, Persians are nevertheless active - they enthusiastically hunt for small game that accidentally flies in - butterflies, flies.

An external, obvious sign of the Persians is the shape of the nose - small and snub-nosed, quite wide. May be upturned. This is a breed of cat with short legs and quite muscular. Quite large, up to 7 kg, Persians seem even larger due to their thick fur. The fur is very soft, requiring regular brushing, grooming and bathing. Sometimes there is a need for a haircut. This nuance must be taken into account when choosing a feline family member.

Norwegian forest

Descendants of wild Norwegian forest cats, these representatives of the cat tribe are the official K of the country. These are large individuals with a strong and flexible body. Fluffy and long tail, tufted ears, large eyes. But, of course, the main thing is the waterproof double-layer wool. The outer layer is long, shiny and soft. And the inner one is very dense, with oily, water-repellent hairs. Despite its wild origins, the Norwegian Forest Dog is very friendly to people and is comfortable in the home.

Having an independent cat disposition, she will be a devoted friend. The Norwegian Forest Dog is loyal, even friendly, to strangers who come into the house - he can come to his knees and let him pet him. But you need to communicate with them politely, without familiarity, otherwise you risk recognizing the sharpness of the teeth and claws of this beauty.

Neva Masquerade

Almost all social network users have seen the Sad Cat. It is used in memes, jokes and funny pictures. As a result, the cat became the face of many products, appeared on television and gained worldwide popularity. However, few people know his story. It all started literally with one photo that blew up the Internet.

Wild European cat in captivity

The European wild forest cat is tamed with great difficulty, and it is very difficult to keep it in captivity. The animal finds enclosed spaces extremely difficult. The genetically inherent wildness and independence cannot be overcome by training and education. However, many zoos around the world keep these animals, where they successfully breed.

Keeping a wild European cat at home is very difficult

From personal observations. Once upon a time, a wild kitten came into our house. He was picked up by a compassionate hunter he knew in the forest. The animal looked to be 5–6 months old. He hid under the closet, hissed and purred incessantly, and refused to eat. There was no question of picking it up. Sharp claws and teeth made the kitten dangerous to others. For about two weeks we tried to tame him, but everything was useless and the baby remained completely wild. During this time he lost a lot of weight and began to look bad. I had to return him to the bosom of nature.

Features of maintenance and care

It is hardly possible to keep a purebred cat in an apartment, because it is extremely uncomfortable for a predator to live there. Urban conditions are absolutely unsuitable for this animal. Kittens born in the wild inherit predatory instincts and a wary attitude towards people from their wild mother. A wild animal, adapted to natural conditions, requires some freedom and significant space to move. Therefore, a private household with the possibility of keeping a cat in a spacious enclosure is more suitable.

It is recommended to purchase small kittens (no older than 2–4 months) from professional breeders who have kept several generations of domesticated wild animals. In this case, the cat can be tamed. But she will still have an extremely freedom-loving, independent, and independent character and will never be affectionate. Babies born in captivity get used to humans from the very first days of life. Predatory habits become a little duller, animals accept food from humans, become more sociable and respond to affection.

It is recommended to purchase kittens from professional breeders

The diet of a wild European cat should be as close to natural as possible. His diet includes the following products:

lean meat (beef, chicken, rabbit, etc.);
dairy products;
River fish;
offal (liver, heart, lungs, etc.);
eggs.

It is necessary to give your pet vitamin and mineral complexes. Animals are very fond of young cat grass and oat sprouts.

The diet of wild cats in captivity must be balanced

Proper care for these predators includes regular vaccinations, taking anthelmintic medications, trimming their claws, and cleaning their eyes and ears. It is necessary to take care of flea control agents (drops on the withers, collars, etc.). It is necessary to constantly comb the fur, especially during the molting period.

Life expectancy and health

Genetically, the wild European cat has excellent health and strong immunity. However, with poor nutrition and poor living conditions, animals are susceptible to several diseases:

Polycystic kidney disease. Multiple cystic formations in the renal pelvis, causing disruption of the urinary system.
Glycogenosis. A very rare hereditary pathology caused by a lack of special enzymes. Kittens die in the first months of life.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Pathology of the cardiovascular system, inherited.
Retinal dysplasia. Causes decreased vision.

With good care, the lifespan of a forest cat in captivity reaches 30 years, which significantly exceeds the lifespan in natural conditions.

Grumpy Cat reaches new heights

Dwarfism, a short tail, characteristic of, and an extraordinary jaw shape ensured the incredible popularity of the Tarde pussy, although the breed of the sad cat is unremarkable.

Her face becomes relatively cheerful only when she plays with her owners.

Tabatha and her brother now need to devote a lot of time to updating the Grumpy Cat website and attending various events with her.

Based on these data, an automatic toy is produced that is capable of making 5 types of movements.

The presentation is planned from San Francisco, then the exhibit is sent to 5 other departments of the museum.

Tarde's measurements are celebrated at Madame Tussauds

The story of the sad cat literally conquered the Internet.

The saddest cat: All about the furry celebrity

Grumpy Cat is an angry cat. This is exactly the nickname the pussy got and the dissatisfied expression on its face. The animal also has a real nickname, given by its loving owners - Tardar Sauce, or at home, Tardar Sauce. As a child, the kitten had fur with dark spots, which reminded the owner's daughter of its resemblance to tartar sauce. They made a mistake in the name, but they did not correct anything.

Grumpy Cat's interesting appearance sparked widespread curiosity after owner Tabatha Bundesen's brother decided to surprise the world with a photograph of Tardar. He posted the photo on Reddit in September 2012, and the public immediately showed interest in the animal's angry appearance. The owner believes that the unhappy face is the result of congenital dwarfism and malocclusion.

Grumpy Cat was gaining popularity on the Internet, the media vied with each other to publish information about the disgruntled cat in newspapers and magazines. Soon the photograph of Tardar appeared in household items: magazines, mugs, cups, calendars and other goods with this pussy were in particular demand.

Can an ordinary cat become the most popular and earn millions of dollars? Yes, if it is the most gloomy cat in the world. The breed of a sad cat is the biggest mystery even for its owners.

How did the popularity of the sad cat begin?

The dizzying career of an Internet star began for several reasons:

The birth of an extraordinary cat with congenital pathologies, thanks to which she became popular. It turned out as in the famous saying (there would be no happiness, but misfortune would help).
Photo of a cat. Interest in the most gloomy cat in the world appeared immediately when a photo of the cat appeared on the Internet (which was posted by the owner’s brother). Millions of users of the World Wide Web were “chained” to a photograph of an angry cat, dissatisfied with life. At first many people thought it was photoshop. The cat's owner did not like this accusation. He hastened to prove that the cat exists by posting a video on YouTube. video stories appeared about her
News and filming on television. The cat was talked about in many news stories, videos of which can be seen on the Internet.
Cat food commercial featuring Grumpy cat.
Popularity on the Internet. The cat has its own pages on social networks, where the number of “likes” is growing daily. Choose a funny nickname for your Scottish cat.
Grumpy cat was named the most influential cat on MSNBC.
In 2013, the Grumpiest Cat was awarded the Webby Awards.

Is there a street breed?

The division based on appearance happened much later:

The history of breeds begins in 1000. Around this time, the first mentions of the Norwegian forest cat date back to this time. She is also considered the ancestor of the Siberian longhaired population.
Later, Siamese, Abyssinians, Egyptian Mau, Persians and Turkish Angora were identified. Even the names clearly show the region from which they all migrated to Europe.
1758 Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus introduced the concept of Felis catus, a binomial name for the species.
17 years later (1775), his colleague from Germany von Schreber supplemented this section with the name Felis silvestris, identifying wild cats as a separate group.
1871 The first official cat show took place in London - 170 animals were shown in 25 categories.

From that moment on, the cat world was divided into purebred purebreds and simple street cats.

No one would dare to claim that outbred cats have any characteristic features. The point is not only in their diversity, but also in their amazing adaptability. Even formerly pampered pets quickly adapt to the street.

They have offspring with any homeless partner and thereby replenish the population of outbred animals.

A cat named Sauce

In fact, Grumpy Cat (“Angry Cat”) is not even a cat, but a cat named “Tardar Sause” (by analogy with “tartar sauce”), and with a very peaceful character, as the owner claims, tenderly loving the famous pet.

Tard, as her family calls her, loves to be petted and hugged. She also loves to be held and is not aggressive at all.

And the cat’s gloomy appearance, which brought her a new name and world fame, is due to malocclusion and congenital dwarfism.

Grumpy Cat, also known as Grumpy Cat, needs no introduction. His appearance is known to all Internet users. The real name of the animal is Tardar Sauce. Her owners named her that because when she was a kitten, her fur was covered in tiny black spots and resembled Scotch tartar sauce. The word “tartar” was entered with an error in the cat’s documents, but the owners decided not to change it.

The cat really does look very unusual. She seemed to furrow her eyebrows, looking at the world with a mixture of melancholy and slight contempt. However, the owners of Tardar claim that in fact the cat has an easy disposition, she loves to play and simply adores affection. Her face is given an unusual appearance by congenital dwarfism and an incorrectly formed jaw.

A cat named Colonel Meow also managed to become one of the Internet memes. A completely inimitable mixture of misanthropy and despondency is written on his face, which Internet users could not help but like.

Colonel Meow is a cross between two breeds: Himalayan and Persian. Both of these breeds have rather long, thick hair, so the cat was distinguished not only by its rather peculiar face: the length of its fur reached almost 23 centimeters, thanks to which it was included in the Guinness Book of Records in 2013.

The secret of the popularity of the most unhappy cat in the world

In September 2012, a funny photo appeared on the Reddit blog of user Kataliadis. It depicted an amazing cat - the mixture of sadness, irritation and boredom on his face was amazing and touching. According to the cat's owner, the success was so overwhelming that she quit her job as a waitress a few days after her brother posted Tard's photo.

In fact, Grumpy Cat is a cat that was born in 2012.

At first, the owners called it Tardar Sauce, a shortened form of Tard.

She was subsequently renamed Grumpy Cat, which literally translates to “angry cat.”

Cat Tarde is angry again

As a result of genetic changes? her jaw has an unusual shape, which is very noticeable in the photo of the saddest cat.

The owners explain this by the pet's dwarfism. Pussy Pokey's brother was born with a similar pathology.

Both individuals have a pronounced deformation of the muzzle, bulging eyes, and shorter tails than usual.

Tard moves awkwardly due to the curvature of her hind legs, and her front legs are shorter than normal. Therefore, she may resemble a cat.

The cat is noted to be slow when moving, and it also has an unusual voice.

The owner of the dissatisfied pussy is named Tabatha Bandesen.

She is raising her daughter alone and has to combine work and college studies.

Their year of meeting Tard's pussy had not been easy, and the addition of a furry friend gave them a positive boost.

Tabatha has a brother, Brian, who came with him from Ohio.

He promotes the Grumpy Cat website, posting new materials and photos of the saddest cat every day.

Tard is difficult to move due to short front legs

According to Tabata, thousands of frames have to be taken to get bright, high-quality images.

From the albums you then have to choose the best photos, where the saddest cat is in all its glory.

From the story of the sad cat, when Tard was born, Tabatha's daughter, Crystal, really liked her.

Now, together with their mother, they are developing interesting ideas for the production of cat brand souvenir products.

The hostess is often given the opportunity to take part in television shows and give interviews.

Breed "Grumpy Cat"

A year later, the mother cat gave birth to several more kittens, including the future world Internet star, “Grumpy Cat.”

How did the popularity of the sad cat begin?

Why is this cat so sad

Surely, many of you, dear readers, remember the signature look of the red cat from the cartoon Shrek.

So, a cat named Luhu surpassed him in all respects! Just look at the expression on his face. Why isn't he the saddest cat on the planet?

This unusual expression is given to Luhu by his eyes, which are sad from birth due to the drooping upper eyelid. In fact, the cat is not sad at all, it’s just how he was born!

This charming furry dog lives in Beijing with his owner Maggie Liu. Luhu has siblings, but only he got that sad look.

It was this feature that helped the cat gain immense popularity. Over 158 thousand followers on Instagram follow his life.

Since childhood, Luhu has not been entirely healthy and has to constantly visit the veterinarian. Once upon a time, a doctor said that the cat would not live more than 4 years. But the love and care of the owner did their job - in August the sad boy celebrated his 8th birthday and is not going to stop there.

Fu-Chan (Japan)

A charming golden chinchilla cat named Fu-Chan lives in Japan. Fu-Chan has such a sad face that you want to try to console him. Perhaps this is precisely the secret of his popularity, because at the sight of Fu-Chan, a real wave of sympathy and tenderness rolls over any person. It seems that tears may appear in the cat's eyes at any moment. Thanks to such a “depressive” appearance, the saddest cat in the world has become the hero of many Internet memes. The owners have created a Twitter page for the cat, where they post new photos of Fu-Chan every day. The cat is only three years old, but he has already managed to acquire thousands of fans all over the world, so, despite the fact that the cat looks upset all the time, one can only envy him.

The cat Fu-Chan is so expressive that one should not be surprised at his popularity. It is simply impossible not to succumb to the charm of his sad green eyes, filled with melancholy.

Pros and cons of tailless cats

Keeping tailless cats does not differ from the rules that have been established for other breeds:

Weekly brushing (daily during shedding period).
Swimming does not create problems for owners of aboriginal bobtails - the animals love water and willingly enter it.
All short-tailed cats are attached to people and devoted to their owner.
Stable immunity and good genetics mean that representatives of these breeds are not prone to hereditary diseases.
Short-tailed cats are not long-livers, but with satisfactory care, all breeds consistently live up to 15 years.

Many people consider short-tailed cats to be strange, not quite ordinary animals. In fact, representatives of tailless groups are distinguished by their outstanding intelligence and good health. If one day a person gets a cat with a small pom-pom tail, then in the future he will never become a fan of another breed.

Character and habits of outbred cats

The breeds share some common behavioral traits. But you won’t be able to predict the character of a mongrel cat by its appearance. Although, if his ear is torn and his tail is broken in three places, we are talking about a typical street bully.

The opinion about the obligatory gratitude of yard cats for shelter and food is also greatly exaggerated. The freedom-loving striped pet will graciously accept food, sometimes allow itself to be stroked and even purr on its owner’s lap. But freedom and the street are more important to him, and he does not recognize the authority of a person over himself. It’s not for nothing that they say that a cat walks on its own.

Another behavior scenario is a complete coincidence of the characters of a cat and a person. Here an idyllic picture emerges when the animal does not take its eyes off its adored owner, runs after him through the rooms and uses any excuse to climb onto his lap.

Thanks to this, yard cats have earned a reputation as grateful and sympathetic companions.

The habits of former street cats rarely change when they find a home. The excitement of the hunt does not subside, the desire for uncontrolled reproduction does not stop, and sooner or later their independence forces them to retire under the sofa. In addition, they do not immediately forget life from hand to mouth and are ready to overeat around the clock.

Everything changes if a purebred cat is spayed or neutered. The character becomes calmer, the level of loyalty to the person and the desire to communicate with him increases. Aggression is expressed extremely rarely - the biological rhythm adapts to new conditions.

Features of the learning ability of street cats

It has been noticed that outbred kittens show more abilities than their purebred relatives. This cannot be called a characteristic feature, but professional trainers confirm this opinion. It’s not for nothing that the first artists of the famous “Yuri Kuklachev’s Cat Theater” were Kutka and Stepka, found on the street.

Temperament and habits

The character of the Somali cat is quite complex. Moreover, both kittens and adult pets are very playful and active. But the Somali owner need not worry about his favorite vase or the integrity of the furniture.

Somali cats are quite obedient and intelligent. In addition, they are able to make friends with other animals, even hamsters, and children. True, it is worth explaining to young household members that it is impossible to torture a cat, that it is a living creature like themselves.

Somali women love affection and attention, but in moderation. Sometimes they want to take a walk on their own

Of course, not around the yard, but to be alone with yourself, stretched out on a couch or curled up in a cozy chair. The voice of the Somali cat is very soft, gentle, pleasant. They purr loudly. Their habits are quite tactful and unobtrusive. A Somali cat will not hurt or scratch a small child. In the game, the pet is quite intelligent and tactful. A Somali woman is a great friend and companion. It's a pleasure to look after her. They are not arrogant and submissive. By the way, pets of this breed can even learn a couple of commands. They understand the words well: “you can’t”, “let’s go eat”, “go and pet me.”

However, it should be remembered that these are still cats, not dogs. If the family has to move, the Somali woman will tolerate it well and quickly get used to the new conditions.

Vaccinations and antiparasitic treatment

To prevent viral and infectious diseases, the Himalayan cat is systematically vaccinated against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirosis. The first vaccination for a kitten of this breed is given at 7-8 weeks.

After 28 days, the Himalayan is vaccinated against the same diseases and against rabies. Subsequently, the cat is vaccinated once a year.

To prevent the development of diseases carried by fleas and worms, the Himalayan is periodically given antiparasitic treatment.

Anthelmintic drugs are given to a representative of the breed twice a year with mandatory repetition after 10-14 days. The dosage is calculated strictly according to the weight of the Himalayan.

The animal is treated against fleas using special drops or shampoos. And if a Himalayan cat has access to the street, it is additionally protected with an anti-parasitic collar.

However, the company began to place a portrait of a sad cat on packaging of other drinks, on T-shirts, mugs, etc. The result was a lawsuit from T. Bundesen against the Grenade company.

The seemingly eternally dissatisfied face now looks at people from T-shirts, drink packages in coffee shops and from television screens.

Since September 2012, the sad cat, whose photo is presented in the article, has gained incredible popularity.

The kitten received the unusual nickname Grumpy Cat because of the displeased expression on its face.

Originating from a mongrel cat, it literally blew up the Internet, becoming mega-popular.

The sad cat who “woke up famous”

The history of the unique “Angry (Sad) Cat” - “Grumpy Cat” began in the year of his birth - 2012. It must be said right away that the sad cat was actually a small cat named Tartar Sauce, or simply Tard for short. Her owner Tatana Bundesen worked as a waitress in a small cafe.

On September 22, 2012, Tatana's brother Brian posted on the social network Reddit a photo of little Tard, with a deformed short nose and a very sad, even angry, expression in her eyes. This eternally gloomy face was so loved by users of social networks that thousands and thousands of people almost immediately began posting and liking her photos.

Literally the next day, “Grumpy Cat” became a world celebrity. Four days later, the hostess quit her job because her income from advertising on social networks began to bring in an amount much higher than the waitress's salary.

However, this was not easy, because I had to take thousands of pictures, select the best ones, come up with titles and descriptions for them, and continue to publish them on social networks almost every day.

Cats with a flattened muzzle and large eyes attract attention with their unusual doll-like appearance. The special structure of the skull gives them a dissatisfied or offended look, thanks to which they are able to melt even the coldest heart

Let's look at the most popular brachycephalic cat breeds and figure out how to care for them.

Legendary cats of the Internet... Sad millionaire cat Grumpy Cat.

A sad cat only looks sad. Thanks to genetics, he has a sad-looking face with a white nose and cheeks. His gray bulging eyes have drooping upper eyelids, his nose is flattened, and the slits of his mouth do not diverge to the sides, like all cats, but go downward with the tips.

He has a small tail and an awkward gait due to the curvature of his hind legs and the short length of his front legs. So it’s worth not only admiring the Sad Cat, but also feeling sorry for the poor guy. The main reason for a cat’s “angry” behavior is a deformed jaw. Thanks to these features, it seems as if the cat is dissatisfied with something or is constantly sad.

The most interesting thing is that this is not a Grumpy Cat, but a Grumpy Cat, who, by the way, has a brother, Pokey, with the same facial anomaly. Both pets are dwarf, although they have ordinary yard parents.

The cat, born in 2012, was named Tardar Sauce by its owners. But global popularity gave the pet a second name - Grumpy Cat or Grumpy Cat.

Oddly enough, the photo of Grumpy Cat appeared online not on Tabata’s initiative. Her brother was amused by Tard's appearance and decided to photograph her. The guy later posted the photo on his blog. Many doubted the authenticity of the cat's face, and then the guys made a video for YouTube to dispel doubts. Almost immediately, Tabatha was bombarded with calls and offers. The girl was so busy with them that she quit and began protecting her cat.

It all started with memes (pictures with a funny image with thematic captions attached to it). Various expressions and catchphrases have been attributed to the angry cat. People reposted pictures of the funny cat and contributed to its popularity. Today, many of them end up on T-shirts, mugs and other souvenirs. We can say that no other meme has matched the popularity of the cat.
