OriginWho did it first?
Grumpy Cat was born on April 4th, 2012, in Morristown, Arizona.

The post quickly led to a surge of photoshopped parodies and image macros, skyrocketing to the front page of Reddit. Videos of Grumpy Cat were also uploaded to YouTube on the same day, further fueling her fame. Watch one of the first video clips of Grumpy Cat here.
