Tard's Story

Where did she come from?
Tard the Grumpy Cat (short for Tardar Sauce)  is quite an Internet celebrity.  She even recently made an appearance on the NBC’s "Today Show." She is known for being the Internet's grumpiest cat with more than 15 million views! Her hilarious facial features make her look like she is permanently frowning.

She is a mixed breed; but looks to have some Persian, Ragdoll, or Snowshoe in her line. 
Still she climbed into our hearts and it's hard not to find her completely adorable.
According to the official website (www.grumpycats.com) which was set up by her owners, Tard's first photo got posted on Reddit in September of 2012.  In disbelief some viewers suggested that it was photoshopped.  In reaction the owners posted a few videos on YouTube to prove that she is actually grumpy and it went viral!

As soon as Tard's image was shared, Redditor got to work on meme creation.  Several variations of Tard's grumpy image can now be found all over the web, featuring different captions in the iconic white Impact font.

I just love her Grumpiness to bits.  She makes my day, everyday.Tard is actually very friendly and loves to be held and rubbed.  In most of the videos, she seems as playful as any other regular cat. She is also a sweet and magnanimous kitty who is donating a percentage of her merchandise proceeds to animal charities.  Grumpy is also donating a portion of the proceeds of the sale of her wide assortment of T-shirts, mugs, and holiday cards—available on her website, The Daily Grump—to various charities. 
There's also other merchandise available all over the web, feeding this latest craze!
