About the Grumpy Cat Meme
A small cat stares directly into the camera with an expression of absolute contempt. Her mouth curves downward in a permanent scowl. Her eyes are flat, unimpressed, and done. The brown and cream fur with darker points frames a face that looks like it has never once experienced joy and has no plans to start. Every inch of this cat communicates a single, devastating sentiment: whatever you are about to say, the answer is no. Not maybe. Not later. No.
Tardar Sauce, a snowshoe cat with feline dwarfism that gave her a permanent frown, was posted to Reddit by her owner in September 2012. The photo went viral overnight, and the internet gave her the persona of a creature who hates everything. Every suggestion, invitation, and positive statement gets the same response: no. Tardar Sauce passed away in May 2019, but her legacy of rejection lives on as one of the most recognized animal memes ever made. For a different flavor of feline indifference, try Woman Yelling At Cat (confused innocence). If you want approval instead of rejection, Laughing Leo is your opposite energy.
How to Make a Grumpy Cat Meme
- Grumpy Cat is loaded and ready to reject whatever you type
- Top text presents something hopeful, cheerful, or positive. Bottom text is the dismissal: "NO," "I HAD FUN ONCE. IT WAS AWFUL," or whatever grumpy response fits. The frown does the rest
- This meme was born in the classic Impact text era. White letters, black outlines, all caps. Grumpy Cat wouldn't have it any other way
- Keep the bottom text short. One to three words of pure rejection land harder than a paragraph. Size the "NO" large enough to feel like a door slamming
- The grumpiest meme on the internet is ready. Download the PNG to keep it, or Share Tardar Sauce's eternal disapproval with someone who needs to hear "no"
