I was just going to post this very thread, someone beat me to it.
Posting on social media Friday, Grumpy Cat’s owners wrote that she experienced complications from a urinary tract infection and “passed away peacefully” Tuesday “in the arms of her mommy.”
Her owners said “Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — even when times were tough.”
The cat’s real name was Tardar Sauce, and she rose to fame after her photos were posted online in 2012. She had more than 2 million followers on Instagram and more than 1 million on Twitter.
Her website says her grumpy look was likely because she had a form of dwarfism.
Owner Tabatha Bundesen founded Grumpy Cat Limited, and the cat made numerous appearances, including commercials.

Cool cat, sad she died. As a cat person I totally understand the sadness. But sadly I think that in game memorials should be reserved for those who have been affiliated with the franchise in some way.
WoW borrows tons of pop culture references from so many different sources, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an in-game version of Grumpy Cat at some point. I’d rather it be a sweet/fun reference instead of a memorial, though.
