There was an internet sensation on the cat. The cat became famous. She had 6.2 million followers on Facebook. So, more people came to the bookshop to take pictures of it. People wanted the cat to sign their books. Therefore, they put black color ink on the cat’s paw and get paw-stamps. People celebrated the launch of the cat’s new book titled “The Grumpy Guide to Life: Observations by Grumpy Cat” at a Barnes and Noble in Manhattan, New York. There was a paw-stamp autograph. During the whole event, the cat was grumpy.
