Sad day :(

Sevens to young for a cat to die, I know pedigree cats don't live as long as moggies, but it's still to short a life.

I just heard on the news that the cat lived in Wittman, AZ ( about 10 miles from me.)  No wonder it was always grumpy.

When I don't care. Could I be grumpier?

Neglect is the opposite of love, not hate.

Her grumpiness was never from neglect.  Grumpy Cat was loved and cared for by her family.  They miss her.  I'm part of that cat community.

Better that cult of personality (Neo) than Lenin or Mao.

We admired Grumpy Cat for her permanent grumpy look and the human who blogged for her using it well.

English pug is another sad face.  But we humans are just projecting.

Dogs show sad faces routinely.  When cats do, it is worth noting for the unusualness of it.

Who wouldn't?  Let's say I adopted a kitten today.  We would both have about the same life expectancy.  And the way I treat my cats is rather envious.  I'll leave it to philosophers to decide how I could be my own cat...
