It’s hard to look at Tardar Sauce, aka Grumpy Cat, and not crack a smile. The famous feline has quickly become an Internet legend in the ilk of Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat, with a mountain of fan-created tributes to match.

After you stop by her website to check out the crabby kitty’s official merch, take a trip over to Etsy, where you’ll discover a whole new world of handmade Grumpy accessories, fit for any occasion.

1. Grumpy Cat Bow Tie

Forget houndstooth — formal wear gets feline when Grumpy Cat’s face becomes a chic pattern.

Unique Chic Bowtique also offers the handmade neckwear in hair bow form, instantly upgrading any bad hair day to a grumpy one.

2. Grumpy Cat Galaxy Flats

Let your feet do the talking in a pair of out-of-this-world shoes that reveal your crank without saying a word.

Grumpy’s adorable mug is hand painted on these canvas flats by Holly Grothues, and convey a certain attitude that matches any outfit.

3. Grumpy Cat Antique Bronze Necklace

Considering how ubiquitous she’s become on the Internet, it’s hard to believe that Tardar Sauce has only been in our lives since 2012.

While not a true antique, this vintage-inspired cameo, based on original artwork by Eveli, is the perfect addition to your growing Internet-cat jewelry collection.

4. Grumpy Cat Embroidered Brooch

If you’re in the market for something truly unique, try pinning on an embroidered Tardar Sauce patch/brooch for size.

Grumpy’s face is hand drawn before being free-hand machine-embroidered, and is made to order by LeighLaLovesYou Embroidered Illustrations, straight from the UK.

5. Grumpy Cat Crochet Hat

Is that Grumpy Cat on your head, or are you just angry to see me?

This classic crocheted design from Made by Marji includes ear flaps and braid ties to keep your head cozy. If you’re feeling wild, she’s also willing to customize it in non-grumpy colors.
