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.
