“What a sad, dissatisfied cat,

Does he look angrily, as if he’s about to bite?

An extraordinary cat, born from completely ordinary mongrel parents, became popular throughout the world overnight. Why did this cat attract the attention of millions of people? We will tell you about an unusual cat that has become known to everyone under the name “Angry Cat” (Tarde) in this article.

Grumpy cat (sad cat) - who is it?

The sad cat whose photo you see is a cat. This cat has already died, but remains in the hearts of the entire Internet.

The cat was born in 2012. The cat's father and mother are ordinary mongrel domestic cats. Of all the kittens born that day, only 2 were anything special, including Tard. The second cat differed only in that it had short pedigree legs (like those of the decoy cat) and an appearance similar to the Burmese breed (like the Tard cat).

The unusual “facial features” of a cat (the corners of the muzzle are pulled down) are a congenital pathology that is associated with some other congenital problems of the animal. Due to the dwarfism gene, the cat has some physiological problems that do not have much impact on its existence. Some clumsiness (when walking, due to problems with the hind legs), fear of heights and a dissatisfied expression on the face - this is how the cat differs from its fellows.

It will be interesting:

When the cat was born, the owners were very concerned that the kitten was so unhappy, they even took him to the veterinarian. But the veterinarian dispelled their doubts, convincing them that the cat did not suffer from any depression. According to him, the cat’s facial expressions were passed on to him through his genes.

The cat's face has such an unusual displeased expression that it seems as if she is offended by the whole world.

That is why the nickname “Sad Cat” became her name. No matter what others try to do, the facial expressions of a dissatisfied cat remain unchanged. Although, if you are interested and want to see the angry cat in a more cheerful way, then watch the video below where she opens her mouth to play. There her expression is much more cheerful, you can say that she is laughing.

A cat with a dissatisfied face is quite happy with life and knows how to have fun. She knows how to cuddle, loves to play around and hide, loves when her tummy is stroked.

How did the popularity of the sad cat begin?

The dizzying career of an Internet star began for several reasons:

1. The birth of an extraordinary cat with congenital pathologies, thanks to which she became popular. It turned out as in the famous saying (there would be no happiness, but misfortune would help).
2. Photo of a cat. Interest in the most gloomy cat in the world appeared immediately when a photo of the cat appeared on the Internet (which was posted by the owner’s brother). Millions of users of the World Wide Web were “chained” to a photograph of an angry cat, dissatisfied with life. At first many thought it was photoshop. The cat's owner did not like this accusation. He hastened to prove that the cat exists by posting a video on YouTube. That's when they started talking about her video stories, there was no trace of doubt left.
   
3. News and filming on television. The cat was talked about in many news stories, videos of which can be seen on the Internet.
4. Cat food commercial featuring Grumpy cat.
5. Popularity on the Internet. The cat has its own pages on social networks, where the number of “likes” is growing daily. Choose yours too

Grumpy Cat (translated as grumpy cat) is a gloomy creature who not only managed to win and maintain the popularity of an Internet star, but also brought her owner a multimillion-dollar income. But first things first. It’s worth saying right away that this is not a cat, but a cat :)

Congenital anomalies

A kitten with a strange appearance was born back in 2012. Its feature:

• drooping corners of the mouth, giving the animal an offended look;
• front legs too short;
• hind limbs crossed and laid aside;
• short ponytail;
• bulging eyes.

An awkward build led to poor coordination, fear of heights and an awkward gait.

Moreover, a relative of the future “star” was picked up on the street out of pity for her shabby and unhappy appearance. A noble deed became fateful for the owner of the unborn angry cat, but more on that later.

The sick and half-dead cat quickly recovered and quickly lambed. Everyone in the litter was healthy, except for two babies who were born with a deformed jaw and poorly formed body.

What was the impetus for the abnormal development is not really known, and apparently no one set out to find out the cause of the “malicious” pathology. Some experts believe that this is how the dwarfism gene manifests itself in cats. Although this phenomenon is more similar to inbreeding in the family or malnutrition of the pregnant mother, which resulted in a system failure.

In any case, the anomaly did not greatly affect the well-being and quality of life of the cat.

Life before the finest hour

The owner of the famous cat is a young mother from England, Tabatha Bundesen, who barely made ends meet by working as a waitress in a bar. The birth of the angry kitten surprised and alarmed her. A trip to the veterinary clinic refuted suspicions of a serious illness and the pet continued its carefree existence.

Tardar Sauce - so named after the famous tartar sauce. Why? Well, such an original association appeared in the head of Tabatha’s youngest daughter when she first saw the baby.

Naturally, at first no one believed that the cat was a real animal and not a cleverly crafted fake. Subscribers demanded proof of the true existence of the “villain.” The touchy housewife posted a refuting video on YouTube. In just a couple of days, the video collected several thousand views.

Life of a star

An event of this magnitude did not go unnoticed by the promoters. Proposals poured in from all sides:

• someone wanted Grumpy Cat to star in a cat food commercial;
• others invited the star to act in a movie;
• still others asked for permission to use the image of a cat on clothes and dishes;
• still others write a book about an angry cat and publish it with millions of copies in different languages ​​of the world;
• The coffee drink Grump Cappuccino appears.

The owners themselves started a cat page on Facebook and created an entire website dedicated to the sad pet, in the hope that they will not forget about him. And they still remember him. Moreover, in 2013, the “angry” resource received the Webby Awards, the so-called Internet Oscar, which is awarded annually to the best web projects.

The most gloomy cat Tartar (translated as Tartar sauce), the Internet star, has already earned $100 million for his beloved owner, surpassing famous Hollywood stars in income. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio's income, according to Forbes, for this year was only $37 million, and Angelina Jolie's was about 18 million.

The legendary gloomy cat lives with his owner in Arizona. Now he is a real star, a regular at Hollywood parties, TV shows and exhibitions, and there are now plans to make a film with his participation.

And it all started out banally simple. The brother of the owner of the cat (or, to be more precise, the cat, since Tardi is a girl) was struck by the unusually gloomy expression on her face and, taking a photo, posted it on his page on the social network. And then, of course, it started...Currently, Tardi has an official Facebook page and more than 300,000 fans.

The cat inherited such a gloomy expression from nature, as he was born with an incorrect bite. This defect made the expression of the cat’s face angry and brought mass popularity, and the cat’s owner was freed from work forever. “My phone was just ringing off the hook, they were constantly calling me with offers,” recalled Tabatha (the cat’s owner) after his photo appeared on the Internet.

Descendants of wild Norwegian forest cats, these representatives of the cat tribe are the official K of the country. These are large individuals with a strong and flexible body.

Having an independent cat disposition, she will be a devoted friend.
