Grumpy Cat (New York Magazine)

There are famous Internet animals, and then there is Grumpy Cat. The one-year-old feline, whose perpetually frowning face turned her into a massive online sensation over the past year, officially became a one-cat empire when she graced the cover of New York magazineâ€™s â€œBoom Brandsâ€ issue in October. The world learned that the estimated value of the Grumpy Cat brand â€” which includes a coffee line, a New York Times-bestselling book and even a movie deal â€” is worth an estimated $1 million. The lesson from all this, according to New York magazine? Invest in cats.

Grumpy Cat's new book, "Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book," is a New York Times bestseller. (Source: CBS 5 News)

Fans line up for best-selling author - Grumpy Cat?

Oct 07, 2013
by Steve Stout

TEMPE, AZ (CBS5) - The Valley's most famous feline had good reason to smile, and her seemingly permanent scowl doesn't mean she's not happy to see you.

Grumpy Cat had dozens of fans lining up to get their picture taken with her during a signing for her new book Sunday at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe, AZ.

The signing came on the heels of the internet sensation's endorsement deal with Friskies last week.

But it was the new book that drew people in droves to see Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce.

Picture requests were not the only comments Grumpy Cat's owner Tabatha Bundesen heard at the popular bookstore.

"'I wish I could pet her,' or, 'I love your cat,' or, 'You're so lucky,'" Bundesen said. "I do feel lucky."

The literary work is called Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book and it's been out about a month now.

The book teaches the art of "grumpiness," Bundesen said, and it is already a New York Times bestseller.

question: in unguarded moments, does grumpy ever smile?

answer: of course, she's only human, er, feline, and a female at that. she has that filipino blood running in her veins from her ancestors, the blood that impels and compels one to smile in the midst of adversity.

In a parallel universe (i.e., the philippines) grumpy cat, smiling. (www.tickld.com)
