Doesn't cheer her up
Grumpy Cat, the internet's most famous feline, added a new talent to her resume this weekend: she threw out the first pitch at the Diamondbacks game in Arizona. Well, okay, technically Grumpy Cat didn't actually pitch the ball. She touched the ball with her paw, and the ball was then thrown by one of her human handlers.
Grumpy Cat may have proved the saving grace for the Diamondbacks, who have more losses than wins so far this season, because they went on to beat the Giants 6 to 1.
Grumpy Cat, whose real name is Tardar Sauce, reportedly rakes in over a million dollars a year. (Reports that she had earned over $100 million were evidently just a rumor.) Her grumpy expression is evidently the result of a form of dwarfism, coupled with an underbite, and she has malformed rear legs as well. Nevertheless, Grumpy Cat's owners have spun her into a merchandising machine, and at her limited appearance at SXSW this year she took precedence over Elon Musk, Al Gore, and Neil Gaiman.
