Only in modern America...

...would the death of a cat be front page news.

Oh wait, it was front page news on the BBC too.

Grumpy Cat has died. The Grumpy Cat. And it's sad, because he was only seven (young for a kitty).

But it also says something about our society that an animal can reach the heights of celebrity as to get the same treatment as famous humans.

I mean, I'm literally seeing Grumpy Cat obits on Fox, the New York Times, CNN, People, NPR, the Verge.

Daily Mail, that rag, has it as live updating.

And of course I have to.


Okay.

I'm going to miss her too. I'm as bad as the rest of us.
