Brand introduction:

Grumpy Cat was a famous internet meme featuring a cat named Tardar Sauce, who became an overnight sensation due to her permanently grumpy expression. Grumpy Cat’s popularity led to the creation of merchandise, a book, a movie, and numerous appearances on television shows.

Tardar Sauce was born on April 4, 2012, and her photos were posted online by her owner’s brother in September of the same year. The photos quickly went viral and spawned numerous memes, with captions featuring humorous and sarcastic phrases.

In 2013, Grumpy Cat made her first public appearance at a book signing in Arizona, and her popularity continued to soar. Her trademark scowl was caused by an underbite and feline dwarfism, which gave her a unique appearance that fans found both adorable and hilarious.

Grumpy Cat passed away on May 14, 2019, but her legacy continues to live on through her merchandise, social media accounts, and the countless memes she inspired. She remains one of the most iconic and beloved internet memes of all time.
