Meme lore

What is the Grumpy Cat No meme?

Grumpy Cat No is an Advice Animal-style image macro of Tardar Sauce, the snowshoe-mix cat whose dwarfism and underbite made a permanent scowl. There is no baked “NO” on this blank: top text names the request or trend, bottom text is the deadpan refusal.

Origin & history

Bryan Bundesen posted photos of his sister Tabatha’s kitten to Reddit’s r/pics on September 22–23, 2012. The post hit the front page; image macros followed within hours. The one-word “NO” refusal became a common caption. Tardar Sauce died May 14, 2019; the face is still the default internet “no.”

This blank is the classic paws-on-surface photograph of Tardar Sauce (born April 4, 2012, Morristown, Arizona), not the later VidCon appearances. Reddit fame started with Bryan Bundesen’s September 2012 r/pics posts. No caption is baked into the PNG.

Caption tips

  • Keep Top Text as a request, suggestion, or trend to reject.
  • Make Bottom Text very short and blunt — often just NO.
  • Do not invent baked-in text; the photo is unlabeled.
  • Long paragraphs over the face
  • A cheerful yes in the bottom box
  • Treating this as a four-panel template
