Grumpy Cat T-Shirts

Introducing Grumpy Cat T-Shirts, our brand new environmentally friendly line of shirts.

Tardar Sauce (born April 4, 2012), better known by her Internet name "Grumpy Cat", is a cat and Internet celebrity known for her grumpy facial expression. Her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, says that her permanently grumpy-looking face is due to an underbite and feline dwarfism. Grumpy Cat's popularity originated from a picture posted to the social news website Reddit by Bundesen's brother Bryan on September 22, 2012. It was made into an image macro with grumpy captions. As of December 10, 2014, "The Official Grumpy Cat" page on Facebook has over 7 million "likes". Grumpy Cat was featured on the front page of The Wall Street Journal on May 30, 2013 and on the cover of New York magazine on October 7, 2013.

The Bundesens say that Tardar Sauce's face appears grumpy because the feline has a form of dwarfism. She and her brother Pokey were born to normal parents with "a flat face, bubble eyes, and a short tail". Tardar Sauce is undersized and has hind legs that "are a bit different". Although she has a grumpy expression on her face and is called "Grumpy Cat", according to the Bundesens, Tardar Sauce is a normal cat "99% of the time".

Ben Lashes is Grumpy Cat's manager who also represents Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat. Tabatha Bundesen took a leave of absence from her day job at Red Lobster to manage Grumpy Cat's schedule while Bryan Bundesen manages the Grumpy Cat website, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter accounts.

Photo sessions are only once a week, and handling by strangers is limited. At South by Southwest Interactive, Tardar Sauce made limited two-hour appearances each day as Grumpy Cat.

Grumpy Cat has appeared on Today,[18] Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, Anderson Live, VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live, The Soup and American Idol. Grumpy Cat appeared on the "Garage Logic" radio broadcast the day of the Minnesota State Fair live Internet Cat Film Festival. Grumpy Cat promoted Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book at BookExpo America. She attended her book's launch at Kitson and The Grove's Barnes & Noble in Los Angeles. In 2014, she appeared in a television commercial for Honey Nut Cheerios. She also appeared on the season finale of The Bachelorette and was a special guest on the November 17 edition of WWE Monday Night Raw.

In March 2013, Grumpy Cat attended SXSW Interactive, hosted at the Mashable House. Friskies paid travel expenses to Austin in order to film "Will Kitty Play With It?" CNN, CBS, and CNET called Grumpy Cat the undisputed "biggest star" of SXSW Interactive over Elon Musk, Al Gore, and Neil Gaiman. Over 600 fans, including Dennis Crowley, waited for hours in the line, which was nearly three blocks long, to take a photo. Ian Somerhalder took photos with Grumpy Cat and called her "my new love", "very peaced out", "sweet as pumpkin pie", and "kind of amazing".
