Years ago, this cat lover became a top Grumpy Cat fan upon discovering her social media accounts. Like the rest of the world, I loved little Tardar Sauce and her displeased visage. When I got a follow back from her on Twitter, I told everyone I knew! This still remains my favorite brush with a celebrity.

And, at the time, my family was ruled by our own perturbed tabby and his looks of ire were in concert with the sour puss looks of Grumpy Cat. My fellow cat parents can most certainly relate with this love for Grumpy Cat as cats are the masters of expressing their annoyance and we can’t help but chuckling at their affronted faces.

Sadly, my own perturbed tabby and Grumpy Cat have left us and padded over the Rainbow Bridge, but the sweet, annoyed memories still live on. Let’s remember the great grumpy one with a look back at some of Tardar’s classic glares as well as other cats caught in moments of disapproval.

Pinterest has your Grumpy Cat Memes covered, but social networks are chockful of grumpy cats, and while not the original, these frustrated felines are every bit as cute.
