The legacy of Grumpy Cat, the iconic feline meme that took the internet by storm, lives on through a new generation of sour-faced stars. The latest to rise in popularity is Kitzia, a perpetually frowning tabby whose expressive scowl has earned her over 56,000 Instagram followers (@grumpy_kitzia).
Owned by photographer Viktoriia Otdielnova, Kitzia has captured hearts with her naturally grumpy expression—though her owner insists she’s actually sweet-natured. Otdielnova’s expertly shot photos showcase Kitzia’s daily antics: lounging, snacking, watching TV, and casting judgmental glances—classic cat behavior with a comically moody twist.
Kitzia follows in the pawprints of other famous frowners, like Monae, a Persian cat who went viral just days after the original Grumpy Cat’s passing in May 2019. Born Tardar Sauce, Grumpy Cat became a global phenomenon before her death at age seven due to complications from a urinary tract infection.
Though no cat can truly replace the OG meme queen, Kitzia proves the internet’s love for disgruntled-looking felines is here to stay.
