Grumpy Cat has passed away

The internet-famous feline known for her permanent scowl has died on Tuesday following complications from a recent urinary tract infection. She was seven. The Grumpy Cat, whose real name was Tardar Sauce, went viral back in 2012 after a photo of her grouchy expression—the result of an underbite and feline dwarfism—emerged online. She has since been a favourite meme subject for many and has even travelled the world making television and public appearances. “Besides being our baby and a cherished member of the family, Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world—even when times were tough,” wrote Grumpy’s family in a statement. She will be missed.

Little did Dylan D. know, his petition would go viral—it has drawn over 1 million signatures so far. While it is highly unlikely a remake would actually happen, at least his—as well as the throng of other petition signers’—message of disappointment is sent across.
