To the surprise of no one with a Tumblr account or more than 500 friends on Facebook, Tardar Sauce the cat is making some serious rounds on the meme-infested internet.

And to the relief of anyone with a desk job or a cat thing, her Arizona-based owners have launched a Tardar Sauce Tumblr with daily pictures of their grumpy cat.

According to Tardar Sauce's online profile, she's a "Munchkin" breed cat with achondroplasia, which causes her to permanently frown -- and be the subject of endless memes, animated .GIFs, and Halloween pumpkin designs. If you haven't been exposed to the frown of Tardar Sauce, here's a recap.
