Some days are grumpier than others Her Instagram account has more than two million followers. Grumpy's face has starred in thousands of memes with many people choosing to share them again after hearing the news of her death.
Still one of my favorite Grumpy Cat Memes. Others - including a social media account for cartoon cat Garfield - simply paid tribute. American actress Aubrey Plaza, who played the voice of the cat in the film, said her "heart was broken". A post shared by aubrey plaza plazadeaubrey on May 17, at am PDT. Grumpy Cat Limited sued the owners of the US coffee company Grenade for exceeding an agreement over the cat's image.
The company only had rights to use the cat to sell its "Grumppuccino" iced drink, but was also selling other Grumpy products. Ms Bundesen previously worked as a waitress before her beloved pet gained internet stardom.
Known for her grumpy expression, Tardar Sauce wasn't permanently perturbed in real life. Her family wrote on her website that she was a "super cute and cuddly kitty" and thoroughly enjoyed being held and rubbed. Aside from the photo sets, which occurred about once a week according to her website, she was a normal cat. She played, hid and even loved to hide behind the curtains.
Before becoming famous, she was a member of the family, and that's how she remained first and foremost until she died. Complications from a urinary tract infection proved too tough for Grumpy Cat to overcome and she passed away in the arms of her mother, Tabatha. Another cat breed with a genetic mutation is the Scottish fold. Descended from a cat called Susie found on a Scottish farm in , these cats have small, forward-folding ears thanks to a genetic abnormality called osteochondrodysplasia that affects their cartilage.
Osteochondrodysplasia affects cartilage throughout the cats' bodies, putting them at risk of a short, painful life. On the other end of the ear spectrum are American curl cats.
These have upright ears that bend backwards at the top. This is again caused by a cartilage mutation, but it's currently unclear whether this breed is at risk of the same health issues as Scottish folds.
However, their exposed ears are fragile and put them at greater risk of infection. One of the most bizarre-looking cat breeds humans have selectively bred is the aptly named sphynx cat, bred from cats with a rare, natural mutation that makes them almost entirely hairless.
Cats have fur for a reason and this breed can suffer from sun damage and skin cancer. They are also at risk of oils building up on their skin and need to be bathed regularly.
