1:48Now PlayingIt’s a sad day for the internet.
Grumpy Cat, a sour-faced feline that captured the hearts of millions, died on Tuesday at the age of seven, the cat’s family said. The cause of death was complications from a urinary tract infection.
The cat rose to fame in 2012 when a picture of her permanently frowning face went viral. She appeared at conventions and the SXSW festival, racking up 2.4 million followers on Instagram and making special TV appearances. Her real name was Tardar Sauce.
“Besides being our baby and a cherished member of the family, Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — even when times were tough,” her family said.
Grumpy Cat isn’t the first internet-famous pet to pass away this year. In January, Boo, a Pomeranian described as the world’s cutest dog, died at age 12.
