26 Funny Grumpy Cat Memes That Will Put a Smile on Your Dial

Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation in 2012. The cat, real name Tardar Sauce, had a permanently grumpy facial expression, hence the Grumpy Cat moniker. This was caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism, giving the cat its fed-up look. Grumpy Cat became famous when her owner’s brother, Bryan Bundesen, posted a photo of her on the social media site Reddit on September 22, 2012. The image blew up and Grumpy Cat was everywhere. Grumpy Cat memes littered the internet while television shows reached out to get the cat on their shows.

She became so big she released two books (Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book, The Grumpy Guide to Life: Observations by Grumpy Cat) a comic book (The Misadventures of Grumpy Cat and Pokey), and even a video game, Grumpy Cat: Unimpressed. Grumpy Cat appeared in advertising campaigns for Friskies and General Mills’ Honey Nut Cheerios and released a stack of merch, from mugs with her face on them to calendars. 

But she never let the success get to her head, with owner Tabatha Bundesen making sure she stayed grounded. With almost 8 million total likes on Facebook, 2.6 million followers on Instagram, 1.5 million followers on Twitter, and 277,000 subscribers on YouTube, it’s safe to say Grumpy Cat is a cultural phenomenon. 

Sadly, Grumpy Cat passed away in 2019 at the age of seven. Although gone she will never be forgotten and lives on thanks to the plethora of memes found on the internet. In celebration of the funny feline, we have collected some of the best Grumpy Cat memes for you to enjoy below. RIP Grumpy Cat.

Hard to disagree with this meme. Nobody, including Grumpy Cat, likes Mondays.
