Grumpy Cat, internet sensation and animal movie star, dies at 7.....

[MMC]

On Friday morning, the Twitter feed for our grumpiest internet sensation read, “Some days are grumpier than others…”

Grumpy Cat, the feline with a frown permanently scrawled across her face, died Tuesday due to complications from a urinary tract infection, according to a message from the animal’s owners, Tabatha, Bryan, and Chrystal Bundesen. She was 7 years old.


“Despite care from top professionals, as well as from her very loving family, Grumpy encountered complications from a recent urinary tract infection that unfortunately became too tough for her to overcome,” the message reads. “She passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, May 14, at home in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha.”


Born on April 4, 2012, Grumpy Cat, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, became an instant Internet star when a photo was shared to Reddit in September 2012 with the caption, “Meet grumpy cat.” After claims of Photoshopping, the owners shared a video that was just as popular.....snip~

20 Fun Facts You Didn’t Know about Grumpy Cat.....


Her Grumpy Face Is Caused By A Medical Condition


She has feline dwarfism and an underbite which is what gives her the grumpy expression. The underbite does not cause her any discomfort and therefore there is no real reason to have it corrected. There are many other cats all over the world that suffer from this condition. However, the underbite is a lot more pronounced on Grumpy Cat than is usual and this is what makes her so unique. It also means that she has a permanently bad tempered expression as the shape of her mouth resembles a frown. She has regular check ups with the vet to monitor her health conditions and the work would stop immediately if there was any issue with her health.


She Was From A Litter Of Four Kittens
She was born at the home of Tabatha Bundesen along with three other brothers and sisters. Her mother was a Calico cat but it is not known who her father was. Feline dwarfism can be hereditary and so it is possible that her father had this condition. Of this litter, Bundesen kept two cats – Grumpy Cat and her brother Pokey. Pokey is still as much a member of the family as Grumpy but he has more of a feisty nature than his sister and he is not keen on travelling.



She Is Not Actually That Grumpy
Despite her appearance she is not really a grumpy cat. She is a fairly laid back cat and seems to enjoy all the attention that she gets. When she first wakes up from a deep sleep she is very frisky and just wants to play. Unfortunately for her owners this tends to be in the middle of the night. Her favorite thing to do is play with the curtains and one of her favorite toys is a ball of string. Her brother Pokey tends to have more of a grumpy disposition according to their owners. This is one reason why Pokey does not get out to meet people in the same way as Grumpy Cat does. Grumpy Cat is also a lot more laid back and calmer about meeting new people.



She Has Had A Photoshoot With Time
There are many celebrities that would love to have a photoshoot with Time Magazine but this is something that Grumpy Cat has achieved. This may not be something that most cats would be able to cope with but Grumpy Cat is used to having her photo taken. She was also a lot less demanding than some of the other celebrities that Time Magazine have featured. The only things that she needs are a few bottles of water and somewhere cool for her to sit. Her back legs are not that strong and she finds it difficult to stand for long periods of time. Nearly all the photos that are taken of her will be when she is sitting or lying down.....snip~
