There aren't any diva-esque demands on Grumpy's rider, either: All she needs, Tabatha said, are 'bottles of water and a cool place to sit!' 'Her health and safety is the most important thing to us,' Bryan says.

In fact, stipulations that ensure Grumpy's well-being are written into every agreement and contract.'She's really active at night, and sleeps during the day-she always has,' which is why she seems sleepy at events. 'She never has been and never will be,' Bryan says. Other Grumpy myths the Bundesens would like to dispel: That Grumpy's in front of the camera all the time (they shoot one week's worth of daily grumps in one sitting) and that Grumpy has been sedated at book signings and other appearances.'I feel like she gets excited-she knows! When I get her carrier out, she’ll come and climb in it. 'I don’t feel like she’s being abused or exploited by traveling,' Tabatha said. Critics have questioned whether Grumpy should be traveling so much, but Grumpy actually loves it.'She really loves it.' Non-Friskies? Tuna and Starbucks coffee cake. Her favorite Friskies food is Savory Shreds.In fact, 'it's pretty much Grumpy all the time now,' Tabatha said. Even though it's not her given name, Grumpy Cat will also answer to Grumpy.'She was like, 'Ew, no!' and I said 'Honey, you have to try it! It goes with fish!' So it was fresh in her mind when the kitten was born.' Crystal came up with Grumpy Cat's real name-Tardar Sauce-which was inspired by two things: Grumpy's original orangeish coloring ('She thought Grumpy looked like Tartar sauce,' Tabatha said) and the fact that, at the time, Tabatha was waitressing at Red Lobster and had just made Crystal try the stuff.'Pokey actually has more of a grumpy personality.' 'She’s super frisky, especially between 3 and 6 a.m.-when you’re trying to get your deepest sleep, she’s wanting to play,' Tabatha said. Grumpy's not actually that grumpy-in fact, she's pretty lovable! Most of the time, Grumpy is very calm, but she can also be playful (she particularly likes to hide behind curtains).'His face isn’t as frowny as hers, but he does have an underbite.' 'He’s black and white, but he does have dwarfism, so he’s super short and cute too,' Tabatha said. She became an internet sensation when Bryan posted a photo of her on Reddit in September 2012. Grumpy's unique look comes from feline dwarfism and an underbite.Her mother is a calico, but Tabatha said they weren't 100 percent sure who Grumpy's dad was. Grumpy was born on April 4, 2012, at the Bundesens' home in Morristown, Arizona.In 2013, Grumpy Cat answered Mental Floss's questions-but she wasn't happy about it.
