She is crotchety yet genuine, apparently
a little grim yet fuzzy, and most of all grumpy yet endearing, yes! She is the
famous grumpy cat who became a viral sensation in no time.

Ever wonder how a mere cat won internet?
Tabatha Bundesen who lives outside of Phoenix
own Grumpy. In 2012, Tabatha’s brother posted a video of Grumpy out of fun but
the video went viral with 1.5 million people watching it within 16 hours of its
launch on YouTube. Ever since the ironic
grumpy has been loved and followed by millions of people. Gradually, a whole bunch
of grumpy accessories were also launched ranging from grumpy T shirts, cards,
and a book named “Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book: Disgruntled Tips and Activities
Designed to Put a Frown on Your Face” (my, my, envy grumpy? I do).
The success did not come to halt just
after million likes, but the all so frowny cat brought forth an endorsement
with Friskies (a premium cat food brand).
Since then, grumpy, no less than a brand, has collaborated with larger
companies to promote various accessories. Countless orders have come in for the Grumpy
cat stuffed animal which will be released in USA soon.
Grumpy is now so famous that she had to hire
herself a manager, Ben lashes, who does not only look after the social media
but also handles endorsements and public appearances of Grumpy. Grumpy is soon
to be a Hollywood sensation most (probably leaving Angelina behind), as she is
one of the few ones enjoying a lead character in “Lil Bub and Friends, a
documentary about a kitten born to a feral mother. The documentary was
premiered at the Tribeca Film festival Film festival in April 2013. Therefore,
it will not be wrong to say that grumpy is no less than an icon and our very own “Manhoos billi” is also a replica inspired
by the sullen grumpy cat I believe.
So what does the
success story of grumpy tell you? To me, the message is clear. If you are
grumpy and you know it, you should not care!
P.S ever wonder what is
grumpy's real name? It’s Tardar Sauce! Well I am not sure how to pronounce
Tardar!
