Grumpy Cat arrives at SXSWi

AUSTIN (KXAN) - Social media news site Mashable has invited Grumpy Cat to join them at SXSWi this year.

As they say in the first picture of Grumpy Cat online, "I had fun once. It was awful." Grumpy Cat was posted to Reddit  last Sept. 22. She's been popular ever since.

Grumpy Cat's actual name is Tardar Sauce. Her mom is a calico domestic short hair. Her father had grey and white stripes, according to the Grumpy Cat website.

According to the website, "Also, a quick note on Grumpy Cat’s wellbeing. We take great care of Tardar Sauce; 99% of the time she is a normal kitty. She plays, hides, and acts as cats act. (She LOVES to hide behind the curtains!) She isn’t in front of a camera all of the time like many people perceive. We only take photos sets once every week or so and on the few occasions where we have met with the media or licensed partners we ensure the sessions are short and that she isn’t handled by many people. Tardar Sauce is a member of the family before anything else!"
