Grumpy Cat (real name "Tardar Sauce") has died
at age seven, and her owners are joined by mourners the world over. One tiny furball, one wee cat, and this little life is missed by millions. Such is the power of the cat. I do not question the quantity of attention this one cat has gotten. I'm amazed by it, but encouraged. It is not a good thing that the cat has died, but it's a good sign that we humans can be so moved by such a small creature.
Then again, the power of cats over us might be cause for alarm,
but I'm not going there today.
Ten years ago our daughter was an adolescent and Bailey was alive.
When we got our first pair of collie puppies, Mariel was eye-level with teeth for quite a while. She wasn't even in kindergarten at the time.
Now the second pair of collies, Prince and Bear, are three years old and competing for Master's attention.
Our daughter has declared herself a cat person.
She actually prefers Bobi the Bad, Bob-Rotten, evil feline among us, to our dear dogs!
The old ginger tom is gone, like Bailey and Blaise,
But Bobi the Bad lives on.
Grumpy Cat you will never be forgotten!
Grumpy Cat you will never be forgotten!
A very nice tribute @carolkean; it was very sad to learn of Grumpy's trip across the Rainbow Bridge, but indeed it is wonderful to know how many lives she touched, as part of becoming the Internet's first "Superstar cat."
Nice tribute to your own felines and dogs, too...
Happy Caturday!

Not big news in Israel. :sigh:
Did you know she and I share a birthday and general attitude toward life?

How did I not see this comment for five months???
No I did not know you share the same birthday - and you, as grumpy as GrumpyCat looks?

It's lovely to see any news that triggers peoples' empathy, and relegates the reigning fools to the back page for even an instant.
Certainly grumpycat did more to bring people together than these clowns. I'm surprised to learn that she was only seven! I'd have thought the memes were around for much longer.
Too bad she died so young. Hard to lose an animal at any age, but so much harder when they die in what should have been their prime.

Indeed. I dread the day Henri le Chat Noir is no more!

No kidding.
My Bear Kitty leapt into my lap a moment ago, and he's twice the age of Grumpy Cat. He'll be fifteen in November, and I can't imagine my life without him.

Awwww. We need scientists to work on getting our pets to last about as long as we do!

Indeed. Marek was saying the day before that Bear is in his eighties in cat years, and it was all I could do not to tell him to shut the hell up.

Deal! Scary Mary is one up on Bobi, if she's capable of living with other cats.
Bobi the Defender will guard his territory against all but the dogs.

She is the same, stays to herself and keeps all away until she is fed...
