With a facial expression uncannily similar to Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney’s "I am not impressed" look, we just can’t get enough of this kitty’s grouchy face.
Since ‘Grumpy Cat’ was posted on Reddit on September 23, the photo quickly made it to the site’s homepage, was featured on Buzzfeed, and is now a viral sensation. The curmudgeonly feline has also spawned numerous parody memes and drawn plenty of comparisons to other sour-faced people such as Ron Swanson from the TV show Parks and Recreation. We just want this kitty's owner to give him some catnip to cheer the poor fella up.
