Pets provide comfort, relief, and joy to their owners but some furry companions provide such feelings to a much larger audience. A select few have their own platform and achieve fame, meet with celebrities, and create content for millions of followers by dressing up or by their appearance alone.

Grumpy Cat

Grumpy Cat was an influential cat who spread memes over the internet, amassing millions of likes and followers. She was well known for her grumpy appearance due to her feline dwarfism and underbite. Grumpy Cat’s real name was “Tardar Sauce.” Grumpy Cat was born in 2012 and lived in Morristown, Arizona. She died in 2019, aged seven, due to complications from a urinary tract infection.

Doug the Pug
