The Internet sensation 'Grumpy Cat' passed away on Friday, aged seven.
Morristown (Arizona): Her owners say Grumpy Cat, whose sourpuss demeanour became an internet sensation, has died at age 7.

Her owners said "Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world, even when times were tough."

Her website says her grumpy look was likely because she had a form of dwarfism. Owner Tabatha Bundesen founded Grumpy Cat Limited and the cat made numerous appearances, including commercials.
