The most interesting thing in that article for me was that Grumpy Cat has been immortalised as a wax figure at Madame Tussauds

There's no denying the cat's owners have animal exploitation down to a science...

The worst part is it's zero effort exploiting. No training the animal or anything. Just take pics of a cat and make zillions.

I’m amazed how many items I’ve bought depicting a cat that lives a life of one I could never come close to affording. There’s just something about that face.... I tell myself not to buy the grumpy cat coffee mug or that grumpy cat plush toy but I just can’t seem to stop myself. Meanwhile I get poorer and the cat gets richer.

While true, it’s also fascinating and super impressive. I applaud this young woman for recognizing the financial opportunity her grumpy cat created & then exploiting it to its fullest potential.

As far as making money goes, I’m impressed. Now.. what she does with her time and money now that she has it - I dunno. If she’s just “being rich,” like Paris Hilton or w/e then I’m not impressed. If she’s enjoying the money & also doing some good with it and her time, I’d be way more impressed.

Or does the cat have owner exploitation down to a science? hmmm.

After all the reason we have domestic cats is a type of african wildcat started hanging around people, people liked them and there was food waste about the cats could take advantage of...So cats have actually been taking advantage of humans since ancient times. And were able to inhabit every continent by going on ships with people.
