OriginWho did it first?

Grumpy Cat was born on April 4th, 2012, in Morristown, Arizona, owned by Tabatha Bundesen. The initial spark of her online fame began when Bryan Bundesen, her owner's brother, shared photos of her on the Reddit's [r/pics subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/10bu17/meet_grumpy_cat/) on September 23rd, 2012. This post quickly surged in popularity, inspiring photoshopped parodies and image macros, and eventually catapulted to the front page of Reddit. Additionally, Bundesen uploaded three videos of Grumpy Cat to YouTube, further amplifying her internet presence. Grumpy Cat's iconic grumpy appearance has been a theme in cat-related memes, linking back to older image macros like 'X is not amused' and 'Serious Cat'. YouTube video of Grumpy Cat^[1]
