We’re still in mourning over the tragic loss of Tardar Sauce, better known as Grumpy Cat.
We’d never attempt to replace her, but if you are in desperate need of another grouchy-looking feline to obsess over, Louis might be the right kitty.
Louis is a six-year-old Persian cat from Austin, Texas. He’s got lovely ginger and white fur, and, well, an undeniably angry-looking face.
The cat’s furrowed brow and wide open eyes make him look like he’s absolutely raging. Look into his eyes and you’ll feel like you’re about to get a telling off.
And thus, we adore him deeply.
Louis’s owner, Michelle, says that despite the cat’s expression he is a pretty happy cat.
He does have a love-hate relationship with Michelle’s other cat, Monae, though.
‘When we got Monae she was a baby and Louis was a full grown cat, and yet she bullied him for two months straight,’ says Michelle.
‘She even tackles and picks at him, but really she loves him.’
Classic cats; being rude and pretending to be furious to show they care.
Louis’s appearance isn’t down to any sort of disorder or deformity – it’s just his resting angry face.
Michelle says: ‘Louis is a full breed Persian but people often ask if he has a genetic disorder because they think his facial features are an exception, but he is completely normal.
‘People usually react saying he looks like a human old man!
‘They love his big ‘marble eyes’ that he squints often.
‘Louis is now referred to as the ‘new Grumpy Cat’, but he is actually very sweet, happy and playful.
‘He loves to snuggle and give head rubs, he will chase lasers and play with toys.’
