It's been a tough week for losses; Tim Conway, Doris Day, Peggy Lipton, Jim Fowler (icons of radio, TV and film), and now Grumpy (social media age). And Herman Wouk too.

His owners gravy train has stopped flowing (or at least slowed down, they'll probably still get some income from his merch.)

SHE was making her owners something like $50 million a year. Now you're right, they may miss their cat. But you can go to the shelter, and get another cat. However, the chances of being able to fine one that can replace that income are pretty slim.

You know, some folks may actually care a bit more then $$$, just a thought...

Well, here's a way to calculate that; @$50M/yr, any non-douche would be set for life, and could simply mourn their sweet little cat and go on about their lives, maybe getting another one along the way.
On the contrary, if they were burning through $50M/yr X #yrs reign of Grumpy Cat, and are now broke, then it is reasonable to assume that they are douches and probably mourning the loss of that $50M, and could give a shit less about that "stupid damn cat that ruined their lives by selfishly dying"...
I'm pretty sure we can find some common agreement in that statement.


Glad you two cry babies have something to agree on... But in really you just mad you didn't have a Grumpy Cat... but you both Grumpy as fuk... Razz

And of course you have more than conjecture and day dreaming, aka proof that the owners were in some way negligent and didn't care about their cat??

Nah, you are both just mad...

50 million a year I would take that cat to the vet once a week for a checkup.

Knock it off.

Go to Reddit, 4chan or some other cesspool if your goal is just to stir shit.

Grumpy Cat was a hoot and always makes me smile when I see the memes.

I saw that and was shocked that a UTI is what did her in. Must have been something like an ascending infection that hit her kidneys. Kidney failure is a crap way to go, human or cat.

I responded to a post in the cat thread about this. My cat had a UTI a couple of times, it's hard on a cat, and difficult to see them going through it. With a change in diet overtime and prescribed clavamox (sp?) it cleared up but man, you'd do just about anything to help them, when they try and try to urinate and only a few drops come out at one time.
