Famed for her sarcastic, cynical images and memes, the famous cat had racked up a fortune of £64million after appearing in adverts, in gifts and even releasing her own book and film.
At the time, Grumpy’s owner Tabatha Bundesen from Morristown, Arizona, said: “She’s unstoppable."What she’s achieved in such a short time is unimaginable and absolutely mind-blowing.
“I was able to quit my job as a waitress within days of her first appearance on social media and the phone simply hasn’t stopped ringing since.”
Reduce Stress. Dr. Becker notes, “The key is to reduce anxiety triggers.” If you have a vet visit, “don’t get the carrier out the night before,” give them a few days to get prepared. If they’re nervous alone or travelling, play soothing music, or draw the shades. The less stimulus pets receive from the outside world, the less anxiety they’ll have about events outside their control.
The superstar was given a permanent scowl after being born with feline dwarfism.
She has 2.4million followers on Instagram, travels first class and stays at the very best hotels.
Revealing the news of Grumpy's death, the cat’s owners said: "Some days are grumpier than others..."Despite care from top professionals, as well as from her very loving family, Grumpy encountered complications from a recent urinary tract infection that unfortunately became too tough for her to overcome.
