Is foo-chan the next grumpy cat?

Grumpy Cat’s dour-styled plans for world domination show few signs of slowing down, but a new contender to the disgruntled kitty throne might have emerged. Named Foo-Chan, this self-styled “Japanese fluffy cat” is a Chinchilla Persian who mugs it up for the social media camera with a permanently worried frown. In Foo-Chan’s world, impending doom and disaster is just around every corner.

So with Foo-Chan’s profile on the rise, here’s a primer of cute pictures on the daily hardship that causes this feline to wear such a worrisome look.

Life metaphor: It is inevitable that as soon as you find yourself a comfy spot, the lid on your plastic basket will soon come tumbling down.

If in doubt, always prepare yourself for an impending batch of bad news.

Super rich kitty: So many toys but nothing can ever satiate the loneliness.

Only 13 pieces of kibble left. Sigh.

I know what’s coming next — she’s going to pick me up again. The cycle of hardship never ends.

Shampoo days are the worst days.

Must. Resist. The. Urge. To. Smile. At. The. Happy. Penguin.

Classic Foo-Chan: All smooshed-up and nowhere to go.
