Tardar Sauce, more famously known as Grumpy Cat, became an internet celebrity almost overnight. The brother of her owner Tabatha Bundesen posted her first photograph on Reddit on Sept. 22, 2012 — just five months after she was born. It was her permanently grumpy face (caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism) that became the source of hundreds of hilarious cat memes that defined what it means to be a cynical cat.
Unfortunately, Grumpy Cat died at the age of 7 on May 14, 2019, due to complications from a urinary tract infection. People around the world posted tributes on social media in honor of the influential cat. But, thankfully, her cynicism lives on — as of 2022, she has 7.8 million followers on Facebook and 2.5 million followers on Instagram.
