Grumpy Cat is the grumpiest cat. The whole truth | Blogger anekdot39 on the website SPLETNIK.RU June 7, 2013

Every cat has a different personality, some are more outgoing than others, but when a typically sociable cat suddenly becomes quiet and withdrawn, it can be cause for concern.

Most of the time, cat owners don't understand why their cat is sad or upset. But by looking out for some signs, you can rest easy knowing that this could be temporary. Also, learn more about some common causes of depression in cats and the best ways to deal with it.

Care and maintenance

Unlike their wild relatives, caraquetas are adapted for living in city apartments. In general, caring for hybrid cats is no different from caring for representatives of other breeds:

The coat of a hybrid cat does not require complex grooming. In normal times, the caraquet's fur is combed weekly with a rubber brush or mitten. During the molting period, the procedure for removing dead hairs is carried out every day.
Although caraquetas are not afraid of water and can easily tolerate washing, they are bathed no more than once every 3-4 months. Bath procedures are carried out in a warm room, away from drafts. It is recommended to use shampoos for short-haired breeds.
Typically, caracats grind their claws down on a well-attached scratching post. But if necessary, you can use a nail clipper.
The ears of a hybrid cat are wiped once every 10 days with a cotton pad moistened with a special lotion or boiled water.
The caracat's eyes are regularly washed to remove dark deposits in the corners. Dirt is carefully removed with a soft cloth moistened with a decoction of herbs.

Breed "Grumpy Cat"

Mom Tard, a mongrel street cat, was picked up by her owner Tatana on the street. The cat found herself in a very difficult situation. She gave birth to kittens and was simply exhausted, lying on the ground motionless, barely showing signs of life. The kind girl did not even suspect that she had found her happiness in life when she helped an unfortunate animal. I took her home and gave her water to drink, and adopted the newborn kittens. Among them was a kitten with a slightly deformed muzzle, whom Tatana named Pokey. It was the elder brother Tard.

A year later, the mother cat gave birth to several more kittens, including the future world Internet star, “Grumpy Cat.”

Therefore, the breed of a cat with sad eyes is very uncertain. Although, if you look closely, you will notice that based on the color of its face, the breed of the saddest cat in the world could be identified as Burmese. But, looking at her short legs, you can see that the breed of a dissatisfied cat is somewhat reminiscent of a munchkin.

Tard is a mongrel cat who was born with a deformed muzzle and has problems with her hind legs. The baby walks poorly, often falls, and her movements are somewhat retarded. An angry cat meows in a somewhat strange voice. Despite everything, she is very affectionate, friendly to strangers, loves to play, like all cats in the world.

Signs

A picture is worth a thousand words. So what does your cat look like? Look out for some signs of possible depression in your cat.

Voice cues or changes in vocalization : Your cat may meow more or less than usual. These are very clear signs that your cat may be unhappy. These distressed sounds are usually a low, pitiful howl. Purring does not always mean happiness, and an unhappy kitten may purr more often to calm itself down. Other cats that usually talk may become quiet, while quiet cats may increase their volume.
Body Language : Sometimes your cat's body language can indicate to you that she is unhappy, and there are many positions of the eyes, ears, fur and body that can indicate that a cat is sad. Drooping ears, a tucked tail, standing hair and other body signs are all forms of silent communication that your cat may be sad.
Aggression or fear : Sad cats tend to be more reactive and show aggression or fear. If you notice changes in behavior that cause your cat to become fearful or overly aggressive, she may become upset.
Attachment, hiding, or personality changes : A sad cat may lose interest in activities that previously occupied him, become reclusive, and hide. Quieter cats may become clingy or demanding, and the fear of strangers that all cats seem to share may increase when the cat is sad.
Excessive sleeping : Cats typically sleep a lot, but sad or depressed cats sleep even more. If the location of your favorite place to sleep has changed, this may also indicate sadness.
Poor care or changes in care : This can be a sign of unhappiness and poor health. Cats that are feeling unwell or depressed will often stop grooming themselves, leaving a very unkempt coat.
Lack of food or change in appetite : If your cat has stopped eating or you notice a sudden change in appetite, she may be unhappy about something. Sad cats may neglect the food they used to eat and even lose interest in their favorite treats.
Spraying or changing bathroom habits : A sad cat may use its own scent to make itself feel better by urinating in inappropriate places. There are many reasons for urinating outside the litter box, but stress, depression and sadness are high on the list. Your cat may urinate in other places, such as viewing areas, your bedroom, or areas where the scent of a deceased pet or missing person lingers, to spread its own scent. Additionally, if your cat defecates outside of the litter box, this should raise an alarm.
Excessive scratching : If your cat is sad or depressed, she may start scratching at things more often than usual to relieve stress and mark her territory.

Cat breeds

Each breed of animal is determined by specific features in appearance and character traits that are unique to it - this is called the breed standard, which must be recognized by various organizations of felinologists (TICA, FIFe, WCF, CFA, IFA, ICU, WACC, etc.) for each of them own rules of recognition. All purebred cats are given pedigrees.

One of the most amazing and mysterious breeds is the Maine Coon - a gentle giant with a serious look. These creatures are called “indoor lynxes,” which is not surprising, because... they are one of the largest domestic cats.

All over the world this breed is called “Scottish Fold”, but we are more accustomed to calling these cute cats “Scottish Fold”. Their “cute” appearance will not leave anyone indifferent - you immediately want to pick up such a creature and cuddle it.

Millions of people around the world cannot imagine their existence without such “plush” bundles of happiness. These aristocratic, friendly, charismatic and very clean pets have long been one of the most popular cat breeds on the planet.

Bengal cats are incredibly beautiful animals that combine the spectacular appearance of wild predators and the docile nature of pets. Well, the main “feature” of these creatures is their “leopard color,” which is why they are called “domestic leopards.”

Siamese - graceful oriental beauties and beauties (who managed to preserve their roots almost in their original form) stand out for their special grace, temperamental character and a certain diminutiveness.

Among the many breeds, there is one endowed with incredible elegance and grace - this is the Abyssinian cat - an intelligent, flexible and dexterous creature. There is a certain mystery and special sophistication in her, and her appearance is called “divine.”

This breed is distinguished by its special silver-blue color and piercing green eyes. Russian blue cats are “real noblewomen.” These are graceful and mysterious creatures, delighting their owners with a playful but obedient disposition.

Siberian cats are considered real Russian beauties for their expressive eyes, chic “fur coat” and friendly character. They have long won the hearts of many cat lovers... a very long time ago - the first mentions of them are found in the 16th century.

The Oriental cat, at first glance, is impressive with its ears (in comparison with the body and head, they seem simply huge). This is a wonderful friend and you cannot betray him (the cat will not understand if you give it to another person).

Charming “Siberians” with a “Siamese” color, a chic hypoallergenic “fur coat” and an easy-going disposition are the pride of Russian felinologists from the banks of the Neva... Dmitry Medvedev got himself a kitten of this particular breed, and Vladimir Putin gave one to the Prime Minister of Japan.

Meeting the owners of a sullen cat

The owner of the dissatisfied pussy is named Tabatha Bandesen.

She is raising her daughter alone and has to combine work and college studies.

Their year of meeting Tard's pussy had not been easy, and the addition of a furry friend gave them a positive boost.

Tabatha has a brother, Brian, who came with him from Ohio.

He promotes the Grumpy Cat website, posting new materials and photos of the saddest cat every day.

Tard is difficult to move due to short front legs

According to Tabata, thousands of frames have to be taken to get bright, high-quality images.

From the albums you then have to choose the best photos, where the saddest cat is in all its glory.

From the story of the sad cat, when Tard was born, Tabatha's daughter, Crystal, really liked her.

Now, together with their mother, they are developing interesting ideas for the production of cat brand souvenir products.

The hostess is often given the opportunity to take part in television shows and give interviews.

Interesting!
Tabatha does not plan to breed cats with unhappy faces. Instead, she encourages people to help animals in shelters.

Wild European cat in captivity

The European wild forest cat is tamed with great difficulty, and it is very difficult to keep it in captivity. The animal finds enclosed spaces extremely difficult. The genetically inherent wildness and independence cannot be overcome by training and education. However, many zoos around the world keep these animals, where they successfully breed.

Keeping a wild European cat at home is very difficult

From personal observations. Once upon a time, a wild kitten came into our house. He was picked up by a compassionate hunter he knew in the forest. The animal looked to be 5–6 months old. He hid under the closet, hissed and purred incessantly, and refused to eat. There was no question of picking it up. Sharp claws and teeth made the kitten dangerous to others. For about two weeks we tried to tame him, but everything was useless and the baby remained completely wild. During this time he lost a lot of weight and began to look bad. I had to return him to the bosom of nature.

Features of maintenance and care

It is hardly possible to keep a purebred cat in an apartment, because it is extremely uncomfortable for a predator to live there. Urban conditions are absolutely unsuitable for this animal. Kittens born in the wild inherit predatory instincts and a wary attitude towards people from their wild mother. A wild animal, adapted to natural conditions, requires some freedom and significant space to move. Therefore, a private household with the possibility of keeping a cat in a spacious enclosure is more suitable.

It is recommended to purchase small kittens (no older than 2–4 months) from professional breeders who have kept several generations of domesticated wild animals. In this case, the cat can be tamed. But she will still have an extremely freedom-loving, independent, and independent character and will never be affectionate. Babies born in captivity get used to humans from the very first days of life. Predatory habits become a little duller, animals accept food from humans, become more sociable and respond to affection.

It is recommended to purchase kittens from professional breeders

The diet of a wild European cat should be as close to natural as possible. His diet includes the following products:

lean meat (beef, chicken, rabbit, etc.);
dairy products;
River fish;
offal (liver, heart, lungs, etc.);
eggs.

It is necessary to give your pet vitamin and mineral complexes. Animals are very fond of young cat grass and oat sprouts.

The diet of wild cats in captivity must be balanced

Proper care for these predators includes regular vaccinations, taking anthelmintic medications, trimming their claws, and cleaning their eyes and ears. It is necessary to take care of flea control agents (drops on the withers, collars, etc.). It is necessary to constantly comb the fur, especially during the molting period.

Life expectancy and health

Genetically, the wild European cat has excellent health and strong immunity. However, with poor nutrition and poor living conditions, animals are susceptible to several diseases:

Polycystic kidney disease. Multiple cystic formations in the renal pelvis, causing disruption of the urinary system.
Glycogenosis. A very rare hereditary pathology caused by a lack of special enzymes. Kittens die in the first months of life.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Pathology of the cardiovascular system, inherited.
Retinal dysplasia. Causes decreased vision.

With good care, the lifespan of a forest cat in captivity reaches 30 years, which significantly exceeds the lifespan in natural conditions.

Grumpy Cat reaches new heights

Dwarfism, a short tail, characteristic of, and an extraordinary jaw shape ensured the incredible popularity of the Tarde pussy, although the breed of the sad cat is unremarkable.

Her face becomes relatively cheerful only when she plays with her owners.

Tabatha and her brother now need to devote a lot of time to updating the Grumpy Cat website and attending various events with her.

Based on these data, an automatic toy is produced that is capable of making 5 types of movements.

The presentation is planned from San Francisco, then the exhibit is sent to 5 other departments of the museum.

Tarde's measurements are celebrated at Madame Tussauds

The story of the sad cat literally conquered the Internet.

The saddest cat: All about the furry celebrity

Grumpy Cat is an angry cat. This is exactly the nickname the pussy got and the dissatisfied expression on its face. The animal also has a real nickname, given by its loving owners - Tardar Sauce, or at home, Tardar Sauce. As a child, the kitten had fur with dark spots, which reminded the owner's daughter of its resemblance to tartar sauce. They made a mistake in the name, but they did not correct anything.

Grumpy Cat's interesting appearance sparked widespread curiosity after owner Tabatha Bundesen's brother decided to surprise the world with a photograph of Tardar. He posted the photo on Reddit in September 2012, and the public immediately showed interest in the animal's angry appearance. The owner believes that the unhappy face is the result of congenital dwarfism and malocclusion.

Grumpy Cat was gaining popularity on the Internet, the media vied with each other to publish information about the disgruntled cat in newspapers and magazines. Soon the photograph of Tardar appeared in household items: magazines, mugs, cups, calendars and other goods with this pussy were in particular demand.

Can an ordinary cat become the most popular and earn millions of dollars? Yes, if it is the most gloomy cat in the world. The breed of a sad cat is the biggest mystery even for its owners.

I want that! What breed?

The popularity of the animal has given rise to the desire of many people to purchase a cat of this particular breed. But the saddest cat in the world is truly unique - he is the only one!

His mother was picked up from the street while pregnant, and his father was a robber cat from a neighboring yard.

The appearance of the parents is unremarkable. But the kids turned out to be extremely funny. Most likely, the appearance is predetermined by genetic abnormalities transmitted by the mother to some kittens.

The cat is very small in size, with short legs. Minor problems with the structure of her hind legs prevent Tard from moving dexterously, but in general they do not affect her health. The animal has genetic abnormalities associated with the growth gene and bone deformation.

Speculations have been repeatedly made about the breed, and many versions have been put forward. But experts agreed that the Tard breed, the saddest and incredibly angry cat in the world, is the most noble - the common cat
.

Is there a street breed?

The division based on appearance happened much later:

The history of breeds begins in 1000. Around this time, the first mentions of the Norwegian forest cat date back to this time. She is also considered the ancestor of the Siberian longhaired population.
Later, Siamese, Abyssinians, Egyptian Mau, Persians and Turkish Angora were identified. Even the names clearly show the region from which they all migrated to Europe.
1758 Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus introduced the concept of Felis catus, a binomial name for the species.
17 years later (1775), his colleague from Germany von Schreber supplemented this section with the name Felis silvestris, identifying wild cats as a separate group.
1871 The first official cat show took place in London - 170 animals were shown in 25 categories.

From that moment on, the cat world was divided into purebred purebreds and simple street cats.

No one would dare to claim that outbred cats have any characteristic features. The point is not only in their diversity, but also in their amazing adaptability. Even formerly pampered pets quickly adapt to the street.

They have offspring with any homeless partner and thereby replenish the population of outbred animals.

What is pussy Tard doing now?

The gloomy cat's fame began when a photo of the saddest cat was posted on one of the Reddit pages.

Now she has millions of subscribers on well-known social networks - Instagram and Facebook. She also takes part in other events.

In addition to the above, there are plans to prepare a full-length film about a sad cat.

In 2013, an agreement was concluded with the Grenade Beverage coffee shop.

As part of the agreement, the use of the “Saddest Cat” brand and photo for the packaging of the Grumppuccino drink is permitted.

In 2015, the owner filed a lawsuit against the company due to non-compliance with the conditions.

The complaint alleges that the owner was not paid the required interest, and under the Grumpy Cat brand, in addition to the drink, roasted coffee and T-shirts appeared.

Now the coffee shop is facing demands to compensate the funds under the contract in triple amount and pay legal costs.

Interesting!
According to some media estimates, the Grumpy Cat brand brought about $100 million to the owner of the sad kitten in 2014.

A cat named Sauce

In fact, Grumpy Cat (“Angry Cat”) is not even a cat, but a cat named “Tardar Sause” (by analogy with “tartar sauce”), and with a very peaceful character, as the owner claims, tenderly loving the famous pet.

Tard, as her family calls her, loves to be petted and hugged. She also loves to be held and is not aggressive at all.

And the cat’s gloomy appearance, which brought her a new name and world fame, is due to malocclusion and congenital dwarfism.

Grumpy Cat, also known as Grumpy Cat, needs no introduction. His appearance is known to all Internet users. The real name of the animal is Tardar Sauce. Her owners named her that because when she was a kitten, her fur was covered in tiny black spots and resembled Scotch tartar sauce. The word “tartar” was entered with an error in the cat’s documents, but the owners decided not to change it.

The cat really does look very unusual. She seemed to furrow her eyebrows, looking at the world with a mixture of melancholy and slight contempt. However, the owners of Tardar claim that in fact the cat has an easy disposition, she loves to play and simply adores affection. Her face is given an unusual appearance by congenital dwarfism and an incorrectly formed jaw.

A cat named Colonel Meow also managed to become one of the Internet memes. A completely inimitable mixture of misanthropy and despondency is written on his face, which Internet users could not help but like.

Colonel Meow is a cross between two breeds: Himalayan and Persian. Both of these breeds have rather long, thick hair, so the cat was distinguished not only by its rather peculiar face: the length of its fur reached almost 23 centimeters, thanks to which it was included in the Guinness Book of Records in 2013.

We suggest you familiarize yourself with Reproduction of carp at home

What breed is the sullen cat?

Let's start with the fact that Grumpy Cat is not a cat, but a cat!!! No matter how incredible it may be. This is an ordinary domestic cat (mixed cat, crossbreed, mongrel - it’s clear to everyone), but the owners believe that it vaguely resembles the Persian, Ragdoll and Snowshoe, which may have been among its ancestors.

This miracle's name is Tardar Sauce. She was born on April 4, 2012. Grumpy Cat is small for her age, because she has a rare disease among cats - dwarfism. This explains the unusual expression of the muzzle. When she walks, she is a little lame on her hind legs because they are slightly different lengths. The owners note that their pet is completely different from its parents - an ordinary cat and cat, of normal size, with a typical facial expression, having nothing to do with short-legged munchkins.

In fact, the “gloomy cat” is not gloomy at all. The owners consider her smart, very affectionate and sociable.

Breed "Grumpy Cat"

A year later, the mother cat gave birth to several more kittens, including the future world Internet star, “Grumpy Cat.”

Our favorite pictures with the Gloomy Cat

One day I tried to have fun. It was terrible!

It's never a good morning!

Why is this cat so sad

Surely, many of you, dear readers, remember the signature look of the red cat from the cartoon Shrek.

So, a cat named Luhu surpassed him in all respects! Just look at the expression on his face. Why isn't he the saddest cat on the planet?

This unusual expression is given to Luhu by his eyes, which are sad from birth due to the drooping upper eyelid. In fact, the cat is not sad at all, it’s just how he was born!

This charming furry dog lives in Beijing with his owner Maggie Liu. Luhu has siblings, but only he got that sad look.

It was this feature that helped the cat gain immense popularity. Over 158 thousand followers on Instagram follow his life.

Since childhood, Luhu has not been entirely healthy and has to constantly visit the veterinarian. Once upon a time, a doctor said that the cat would not live more than 4 years. But the love and care of the owner did their job - in August the sad boy celebrated his 8th birthday and is not going to stop there.

Other reasons

Helminthiasis

If parasites enter a cat's body, it may experience health problems such as diarrhea or hair loss.
The disease is caused by parasites - worms. They can be present in grass, food, soil, water. Once in the animal's body, they use it for survival. The cat has health problems. Symptoms depend on the degree of worm infestation. The cat does not eat, vomiting, diarrhea, cough, hair loss, rashes appear, the pet scratches its butt near the anus. The tummy gets bigger. Symptoms of intoxication appear.

Age of the cat

An old cat becomes lethargic, sleeps a lot, plays little, appetite, hearing, vision and smell are impaired. The fur becomes dull. As an animal ages, its behavior changes. Or the pet becomes more affectionate, climbs into your arms, caresses. Or, on the contrary, he shows nervousness and aggression. The immunity of cats decreases, which is why they are susceptible to infections.

Vaccinations for babies

Vaccination protects animals well from various diseases. However, complications may occur. Both allergies and individual reactions. After vaccination, the kitten eats poorly, is lethargic, drowsy, refuses to eat, and the temperature rises. The nose becomes hot or cold. If these symptoms last more than 3 days or are too severe. you need to contact your veterinarian.

Pros and cons of tailless cats

Keeping tailless cats does not differ from the rules that have been established for other breeds:

Weekly brushing (daily during shedding period).
Swimming does not create problems for owners of aboriginal bobtails - the animals love water and willingly enter it.
All short-tailed cats are attached to people and devoted to their owner.
Stable immunity and good genetics mean that representatives of these breeds are not prone to hereditary diseases.
Short-tailed cats are not long-livers, but with satisfactory care, all breeds consistently live up to 15 years.

Many people consider short-tailed cats to be strange, not quite ordinary animals. In fact, representatives of tailless groups are distinguished by their outstanding intelligence and good health. If one day a person gets a cat with a small pom-pom tail, then in the future he will never become a fan of another breed.

How to treat a pet?

To cure a disease, the cause must be eliminated.

If it is caused by taking medications, stop taking it. For helminthiases, the cat is given a drug that removes them. They go to the toilet and the worms will come out along with the feces. Piroplasmosis is treated with special substances that kill Babesia. In case of inflammation and infections, you need to relieve this process with anti-inflammatory or antibiotics. Maintenance therapy and pills to boost immunity are used. Only a doctor can identify the cause and prescribe the correct treatment.

Character and habits of outbred cats

The breeds share some common behavioral traits. But you won’t be able to predict the character of a mongrel cat by its appearance. Although, if his ear is torn and his tail is broken in three places, we are talking about a typical street bully.

The opinion about the obligatory gratitude of yard cats for shelter and food is also greatly exaggerated. The freedom-loving striped pet will graciously accept food, sometimes allow itself to be stroked and even purr on its owner’s lap. But freedom and the street are more important to him, and he does not recognize the authority of a person over himself. It’s not for nothing that they say that a cat walks on its own.

Another behavior scenario is a complete coincidence of the characters of a cat and a person. Here an idyllic picture emerges when the animal does not take its eyes off its adored owner, runs after him through the rooms and uses any excuse to climb onto his lap.

Thanks to this, yard cats have earned a reputation as grateful and sympathetic companions.

The habits of former street cats rarely change when they find a home. The excitement of the hunt does not subside, the desire for uncontrolled reproduction does not stop, and sooner or later their independence forces them to retire under the sofa. In addition, they do not immediately forget life from hand to mouth and are ready to overeat around the clock.

Everything changes if a purebred cat is spayed or neutered. The character becomes calmer, the level of loyalty to the person and the desire to communicate with him increases. Aggression is expressed extremely rarely - the biological rhythm adapts to new conditions.

Features of the learning ability of street cats

It has been noticed that outbred kittens show more abilities than their purebred relatives. This cannot be called a characteristic feature, but professional trainers confirm this opinion. It’s not for nothing that the first artists of the famous “Yuri Kuklachev’s Cat Theater” were Kutka and Stepka, found on the street.

Temperament and habits

The character of the Somali cat is quite complex. Moreover, both kittens and adult pets are very playful and active. But the Somali owner need not worry about his favorite vase or the integrity of the furniture.

Somali cats are quite obedient and intelligent. In addition, they are able to make friends with other animals, even hamsters, and children. True, it is worth explaining to young household members that it is impossible to torture a cat, that it is a living creature like themselves.

Somali women love affection and attention, but in moderation. Sometimes they want to take a walk on their own

Of course, not around the yard, but to be alone with yourself, stretched out on a couch or curled up in a cozy chair. The voice of the Somali cat is very soft, gentle, pleasant. They purr loudly. Their habits are quite tactful and unobtrusive. A Somali cat will not hurt or scratch a small child. In the game, the pet is quite intelligent and tactful. A Somali woman is a great friend and companion. It's a pleasure to look after her. They are not arrogant and submissive. By the way, pets of this breed can even learn a couple of commands. They understand the words well: “you can’t”, “let’s go eat”, “go and pet me.”

However, it should be remembered that these are still cats, not dogs. If the family has to move, the Somali woman will tolerate it well and quickly get used to the new conditions.

Why do cats or kittens cry while meowing?

Although cats do not cry, they can also suffer and worry. Mustachioed pets express their negative emotions by lethargic behavior, attempts at solitude, loss of appetite, hair loss, aggression and various sounds.

If your pet constantly meows, and the fur on his face is moistened with tears, then he is trying with all his might to attract your attention. Possible reasons for this behavior are listed below.

Psychological discomfort

Prolonged stress weakens the immune system and negatively affects the psyche. Animals are frightened by sharp sounds, unfamiliar smells and unusual surroundings. Thunder, fireworks, traveling in a car, going to the veterinary clinic, moving house, and the arrival of a new family member are the most common causes of anxiety in cats.

They are asking for something

Cats meow when they are hungry or thirsty. Adult animals try to lead the owner to the bowl and even point with their eyes at the place where the food is stored. Kittens are completely helpless in this regard - they simply cry pitifully in place until they are fed.

Feel the pain

The animal may suffer from constipation, diarrhea or nausea. In this case, tears appear due to pain in the abdomen and an approaching gag reflex. Clean cats, with the help of meowing, try to warn their owners not only about unpleasant sensations, but also about the imminent elimination of need in the wrong place.

Need attention

Imaginative shedding of tears is typical for manipulative cats. In this way, smart pets extort treats and extra affection.

Sexual instinct

All cat owners know about loud meowing, rolling on the floor and marking territory during puberty, but only a few know about profuse tearing during this period. The sudden appearance of tears during the awakening of the sexual instinct is explained by a temporary discrepancy between the width and length of the tear ducts. As the kitten gets older, its head becomes larger. Along with it, the width of the tear ducts also increases, but the change in their length is slightly delayed.

Meowing little kittens

Most often, a kitten cries due to separation from its mother and loss of its usual way of life. In a new place he is left completely alone, so he needs time to get used to his owner and unfamiliar smells.

Please note that moving is most difficult for babies under 3 months. Such kittens are still deprived of independence, so any violation of the established routine puts them in a state of extreme stress.

Vaccinations and antiparasitic treatment

To prevent viral and infectious diseases, the Himalayan cat is systematically vaccinated against panleukopenia, rhinotracheitis and calcivirosis. The first vaccination for a kitten of this breed is given at 7-8 weeks.

After 28 days, the Himalayan is vaccinated against the same diseases and against rabies. Subsequently, the cat is vaccinated once a year.

To prevent the development of diseases carried by fleas and worms, the Himalayan is periodically given antiparasitic treatment.

Anthelmintic drugs are given to a representative of the breed twice a year with mandatory repetition after 10-14 days. The dosage is calculated strictly according to the weight of the Himalayan.

The animal is treated against fleas using special drops or shampoos. And if a Himalayan cat has access to the street, it is additionally protected with an anti-parasitic collar.

What to do about lacrimation in animals

Possible actions directly depend on the cause. If everything is explained by physiology, then it is enough to wait for the condition to normalize or help your pet with eye hygiene. Special veterinary lotions, herbal decoctions or weak tea leaves are suitable for cleansing.

When pathology is confirmed, it is enough to simply follow medical recommendations. Depending on the diagnosis, a mustachioed pet may be prescribed antibiotics, antivirals, anthelmintics, anti-inflammatory, antihistamines or other drugs.

Achievements of "Grumpy Cat"

The Grumpy Cat Facebook page has more than a million subscribers.
The video of the saddest cat in the world, sweet Tard, has received an incredible 15 million views.
In 2013, "Grumpy Cat" was awarded the Meme of the Year Award by the Webby Awards.
The same year the book “Grumpy Cat. An Angry Book from the Angriest Cat in the World."
The famous cat food manufacturer Friskies invited the sad cat Tard to advertise its products, naturally paying her owner very impressive fees for this very “difficult” cat work.
In 2014, a sequel to the book from the saddest cat in the world was published.
In 2012, Crumpy Cat Ltd. represented by the owner of the sad cat, entered into an agreement with the American company Grenade, which produces coffee, in the amount of 150 thousand dollars. Tarde's image was supposed to appear on the packaging of the Grampuccino drink. However, the company began to place a portrait of a sad cat on packaging of other drinks, on T-shirts, mugs, etc. The result was a lawsuit from T. Bundesen against the Grenade company. The lawyer for the owner of the sad cat won the case, and the owner Tard received 701 thousand dollars.
Mistress Tard opened her own business and successfully sells funny T-shirts with funny inscriptions and a portrait of her sad cat.
In general, over two years, from various sources, the saddest cat earned his owner $100 million. This significantly exceeds the fees of the most famous Hollywood stars.

The sad cat, whose photo is presented in the article, has become a real Internet celebrity; this whole story began with just one photo posted on the Internet.

The seemingly eternally dissatisfied face now looks at people from T-shirts, drink packages in coffee shops and from television screens.

Since September 2012, the sad cat, whose photo is presented in the article, has gained incredible popularity.

The kitten received the unusual nickname Grumpy Cat because of the displeased expression on its face.

Originating from a mongrel cat, it literally blew up the Internet, becoming mega-popular.

The sad cat who “woke up famous”

The history of the unique “Angry (Sad) Cat” - “Grumpy Cat” began in the year of his birth - 2012. It must be said right away that the sad cat was actually a small cat named Tartar Sauce, or simply Tard for short. Her owner Tatana Bundesen worked as a waitress in a small cafe.

On September 22, 2012, Tatana's brother Brian posted on the social network Reddit a photo of little Tard, with a deformed short nose and a very sad, even angry, expression in her eyes. This eternally gloomy face was so loved by users of social networks that thousands and thousands of people almost immediately began posting and liking her photos.

Literally the next day, “Grumpy Cat” became a world celebrity. Four days later, the hostess quit her job because her income from advertising on social networks began to bring in an amount much higher than the waitress's salary.

However, this was not easy, because I had to take thousands of pictures, select the best ones, come up with titles and descriptions for them, and continue to publish them on social networks almost every day.
