World’s richest cat dies from Urinary Tract Infection

World’s richest cat in the world has passed away at the age of 7 after amassing a $100million fortune

Grumpy Cat, owned by Tabatha Bundesen from Morristown, Arizona shot to fame in 2012 in a YouTube video that got 15.7 million views. The cat had more money than Hollywood stars Nicole Kidman, Cameron Diaz and Matthew McConaughey during her time in the spotlight.

According to Dailymail, the cat named Tardar Sauce was born with dwarfism and an underbite, giving her a disgruntled expression.

Her family took to Instagram this morning to announce the news that she’d died on Tuesday from a urinary tract infection, saying: ‘Some days are grumpier than others’.

A statement released by Grumpy Cat’s owners read:

‘We are unimaginably heartbroken to announce the loss of our beloved Grumpy Cat.

‘Despite care from top professionals, as well as from her very loving family, Grumpy encountered complications from a recent urinary tract infection that unfortunately became too tough for her to overcome.

‘She passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, May 14, at home in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha.
