Pet owners mourn Grumpy Cat with photos of their own grumpy pets
The loss of Grumpy Cat has left the world feeling a little darker and a lot grumpier today, but one good thing may have come from it.
Pet owners are taking to social media to share photos of their own pets looking grumpy. It’s a bittersweet attempt to spread some of the viral joy the world has lost now that Grumpy Cat herself is no longer with us.
The hashtag #TweetAGrumpyFaceForGrumpy has been flooded with photos —not just of cats, but of dogs, too.
“Rest in peace Grumpy Cat,” one user tweeted. “I [hope you are] having a grand old time over the rainbow.”

Grumpy Cat died from a urinary tract infection on Tuesday morning, and the news was shared by her family on Friday.
“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,” they wrote. “Her spirit will continue to live on through her fans everywhere.”
Today has certainly proven that to be true.
