RIP little kitty.

    I'll always remember her for being grumpy.

    It's also a testament to how good Aubrey Plaza is that starring in the Grumpy Cat Christmas movie didn't torpedo her career.

    Apparently she was only 7?

    A, I'd think she was older, and B, isn't that young for a cat?

    She had complications from a UTI.

    7 is very young for a cat.

    Damn, this sucks for her owners. You don't expect a cat to pass at 7, that's gonna be hard with how sudden it is.

    grumpycats owners sucked, a lot

    they were EXTREMELY exploitative

    grumpycat was a sweet girl and her owners put her through hell for money

    I have known cats to live well into their 20s

    Still never fun to lose one young. Like poor melkor who died at 3 but he had some kind of disease his whole life. Poor thing.

    A cat uti is pretty common. You'd think they would give her antibiotics... Maybe she was allergic?

    Depends on when they realized she had one. Cats are pretty famously stoic about pain or sickness so it could just be that by the time she was visibly sick, it had progressed into her kidneys and was too far gone to really be treated.

    You could get an idea just by knowing her real REAL name.

    My childhood cat, Fred, lived to be 25. She moved with me about 20 times to 5 different states. That was a rough day.

    Jesus people, a wonderful edition to the online world passed away and our first response is to shit all over it. How about instead, celebrate the glory of Grumpy?

    Nothing wrong for shedding some tears when an icon dies. It's the death of the earlier days of the internet too.

    She was just a little kitty. Complications from UTIs in cats can be pretty devastating actually too, a friend of mine almost lost his cat to one! They had to do emergency surgery and everything.

    I met Grumpy Cat once. I worked at QVC, and they were doing a line of Grumpy Cat merch, so they set up a meet-and-greet.

    She was asleep the whole time, and we weren't allowed to touch her, just stand near her. But she was extremely cute. Just the tiniest little thing.

    That's one of my favorite memories from that job, thinking back.

    My cat has had two urinal tract blockages, we're lucky that he had them block up rather than stuff get lodged and infected.

    those were both terrible days. the first one we had to take him to an emergency late night vet at 11pm, a 45 minute drive across town. I can still hear his keening as I held him and tried to keep him calm.

    rip little kitty, 7 is far too young to die

  • JansonJanson Registered User regular
    Yeah my family cat died at only 11 from kidney issues - and my dad’s a vet! It really can be hard to tell.
