Risqué Grumpy Cat Pasties

Grumpy Cat Pasties Show a Naughtier Side to the Viral Kitty

— January 3, 2013 — Naughty
The famous viral kitty Tarder Sauce is getting its own set of grumpy cat pasties, which are so wrong, yet so right.

The pasties, which are made from sequins, reincarnate the discontent cat in a very naughty and unorthodox way. Though it may be a bit odd, it goes to show how far the grumpy cat’s fan base spans. Unlike the viral videos, which are very family friendly, the pasties are for a more adult variety as they are most likely to be seen in a burlesque show. MontabahnPasties on Etsy are behind the making of the curious adult accessory.

Though the grumpy cat pasties are more naughty then nice, 50% of all profits from the pasties will be donated to SPCA international, which shows a much softer side to the scandalous product.
