Also called Grumpy Cat Table · Tardar Sauce at a Table
Grumpy Cat rests her chin near a wooden tabletop, looking unimpressed. Pair an upbeat suggestion with a blunt reply that refuses to join in.
The expression supplies the lack of enthusiasm. The caption can reject an invitation, find the downside of good news, or quietly celebrate cancelled plans.
A short, dry answer suits the still pose. You do not need to make the complaint especially serious; disapproving of a breakfast meeting is enough.
Grumpy Cat was Tardar Sauce, owned by Tabatha Bundesen. In a 2015 interview with Inc., Bundesen said her brother Bryan posted a photograph to Reddit on September 22, 2012. The response led to more pictures, a video, and the Grumpy Cat website. [1]
The official site describes the same 2012 breakthrough and the video shared after viewers questioned whether the frown had been edited. Those accounts explain the cat’s rise; they do not date this particular table photograph. [2]

Put the setup above the ears and the reply across the lower tabletop. Leave the face visible between them.
Try reading the response aloud without emphasis. If it needs several sentences or an explanation to be funny, shorten it until the cat’s expression can finish the thought.
