Cheer up, Grumpy Cat. You've got an endorsement deal.

The feline Internet sensation, real name Tardar Sauce, is set to become the face of Friskies cat food in a deal announced Tuesday by Nestle Purina PetCare. Terms of the agreement were not released.
A 1 1/2-year-old mixed-breed feline who became a household name after photos of her posted online went viral last year, Grumpy Cat also has a merchandise line and possibly a movie deal in the works.

She's reached more than 111,000 Twitter followers and has a Facebook page with more than 1.3 million "likes." "She's very busy," Friskies spokeswoman Julie Catron told The Associated Press. "The first thing she'll do for us is receive the lifetime achievement award." Grumpy Cat is own by Phoenix resident Tabatha Bundesen.

That's cool. I read, that despite that grumpy face, the cat is really very sweet in nature.

Grumpy Cat To Star in Lifetime Christmas Movie

Is Grumpy Cat going to replace the Grinch?

Internet-famous Grumpy Cat is going Hollywood: The unimpressed cat will star in a Christmas movie this year on Lifetime, EW has confirmed.

Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, written by Tim Hill (SpongeBob SquarePants) and Jeff Morris, will center on a pet-store cat who is constantly overlooked and the 12-year-old girl who can communicate with her, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

(Show of hands: Up until this moment, who thought Grumpy Cat was actually a guy!?)

Grumpy — real name Tardar Sauce — became an Internet meme in 2012 when owner Tabatha Bundesen’s brother posted a photo on Reddit. Since then, Grumpy has been the subject of a book and calendar and made numerous TV appearances, most recently on "American Idol".

“The movie brings fun and irreverence that we haven’t had at Lifetime,” VP of original movies at Lifetime Arturo Interian told THR. “We’re so known for our heartfelt sentimentality that it will poke fun at those stereotypes.”

Interian described the project as “a little Home Alone and a little Die Hard,” and said the television movie will feature other Internet memes as well.
