Grumpy Cat

This. This is art. 

Meet the talented Rebecca Salinas, a painter who adores cats. And it really shows. 

We had the privilege to speak with Rebecca and discover her inspiration behind this masterpiece!  

"I've always loved and drawn cats my whole life. I am in advanced art classes now at UCF, in Florida, and finally have the freedom to choose my own content. The theme was 'populated space' and I immediately knew I wanted to do a painting full of cats. I'm in a Facebook group called 'This Cat Is C H O N K Y' and I love a lot of cats that are famous from there."

Rebecca also mentioned that two of her own cats can be found in the painting, and that she used submitted photos from the 'This Cat Is C H O N K Y' Facebook group as pose references!

"I really love it when I can laugh at my paintings, and this one is one of my most funny paintings yet," added Rebecca. 

According to Rebecca's post in the C H O N K Y group, there are 50 recognizable cats in this one painting alone! Do you think you can pinpoint them all?

Thanks for sharing your lovely work with the world, Rebecca! Check out more of her amazing art on Instagram or Facebook! 

We've got another "grumpy" cat to add to our list of favorite grumps! 

Introducing -- Grumpy Barbara! Barbara is getting recognition for her ultra-grumpy stare and we gotta say... we absolutely love her. 

We've all heard the expression "if looks could kill," and, well, Barbara's stare is that look.

2019 was a tough year for the cat lover community. It was in this one year that we lost two of largest cat legends that the world has ever known:

Tardar Sauce (Grumpy Cat) and Lillian Bubbles (Lil BUB). 

This is a tribute to them and their legacy. 

May they rest in peace. We'll miss you forever. 

When Internet sensation, Grumpy Cat, passed away few months ago, the world mourned over this comically expressive cat who had been the face of countless memes since she first appeared on a Reddit thread back in 2012. Now, months after her death, her memory is being honored on a street corner in Milwaukee by a group of local artists and we think it's beautiful! Story via: Cole & Marmalade  

We have all mourned the tragic loss of Grumpy cat a few weeks ago and will always remember him as one of the greatest animal influencers on the internet. But now that he is gone, there are other frowning cats out there. One of them is Louie, a 6-year-old Persian cat from Austin, Texas, who is being dubbed the new Grumpy Cat thanks to the perpetual frown on his face. Louis' frown isn't caused by a genetic mutation, like Grumpy Cat's was, it's just how his Persian face is set. Part of the reason behind Louis' grumpiness might be his love-hate relationship with his owner's other cat, Monae. His owner, Michael, by the way, insists he's really 'sweet and playful'. Scroll down his photos on his growing Instagram page.

The hashtag #TweetAGrumpyFaceForGrumpy started after news broke that the famous cat died at the age of 7. In those seven years, Grumpy Cat accomplished more than most people do in a lifetime. The cranky internet sensation captured our hearts, especially when we were feeling a little disgruntled with the world. 

Grumpy cat who has 2.4 million followers on Instagram, inspired some of the most popular memes on social media after her permanent displeased expression was first shared on Reddit six years ago. Following the news of her death, many people took to social media to share some of the feline's funniest moments.

It's a sad day for the cat lovers community, as the beloved and famous Tardar Sauce, commonly known as 'Grumpy Cat' has passed away. @Therealgrumpycat has confirmed the heartbreaking news on Instagram. Tardar Sauce passed away in the arms of her mommy on Tuesday, her family said on Friday, she was only 7 years old. Grumpy Cat had become an internet sensation and a classic meme from the very start, due to her permanent scowl. Perhaps the most famous meme quote: "I had fun once. It was awful." 

Jiji is a 94-Year-old man whose life changed forever the day his photographer grandaughter brought him a cat named Kinako. After the end of the war, Jiji worked at the same office for 64 good years, but during 2009 he got sick and had to be admitted to the hospital. This very active and full of life man lost his interest in life and got grumpier with each passing day. That was the time when his granddaughter decided to bring Kinako into his life. As you can see from the beautiful photos below, it seems as if the cute little cat has melted Jiji heart (and ours as well). It's amazing how sometimes it just  takes someone or something to make life worth living again... Via: PawsPlanet

Being Grumpy's brother it ain't easy...

Let's just say the holiday season is not one of Grumpy cat's favorite time of the year. 

These animal memes are guaranteed to put a smile on your face no matter how's your day has started...
