For the past three years, those on the internet have turned to Tardar Sauce (a.k.a. Grumpy Cat) whenever they wanted to showcase their disdain for things. Now, it’s finally time for a change.
Welcome Grumpy Cat 2.0, Pompous Albert, to the floor, people.
He’s grumpier.

He’s fluffier.
And, as we all know, fluffier is always better. Seriously, he looks like a throw blanket.
He’s more adorable.
From where we sit, he’s absolutely, unequivocally, 100 times more adorable than that ol’ Tardar Sauce.
I can’t believe some people think I’m not real! @sagebrushfineart @alberttailsfromtheoffice

Here’s the skinny on Pompous Albert: He’s a Selkirk Rex cat, which are known for their distinct fluffiness. This sourpuss is named after Albert Einstein due to their uncanny resemblance. According to Bert’s Instagram bio, he’s a “rejected show cat, but I’ll show them.” And show them he has. He has more than 45,000 people following his every move on Instagram, and we can’t blame them.
He’s simply too grumpy to pass up.
…but just in case you still prefer the original Tardar Sauce, here he is in all his grumpy glory:
