Lifestyle | Grumpy Cat X Primark

Being the crazy cat lady I am, when I saw Primark had collaborated with one of the world's most famous cats, I actually screamed with excitement. Grumpy Cat, whose real name is actually Tardar Sauce, is one of the most famous cats in the world. Grumpy Cat has a form of dwarfism, which is the cause of her permanently unhappy facial expression, although her owners claim she is just a normal happy kitty, 99% of the time. Tarar has a brother, Pokey, a little black and white kitty, who looks a lot like a chubbier, fluffier version of my cat, Carnaby! Tardar only has photo sessions once per week and is rarely handled by strangers, unless on tour, as he is at the moment. Grumpy Cat became famous in 2012 after a photo posted on the social media site, Reddit, shot to fame.. and then Grumpy Cat, the kitty meme king was born!

In July this year, Primark held a press day for Grumpy Cat's new range which includes bedding, nightwear, stationery and clothing too - their new collection with Miss Tardar Sauce, really is a crazy cat lady's dream come true. Loads of bloggers, web influencers and internet stars attended and had a fabulous cat themed evening, complete with food with Tardar's face on, masks with Tardar's face on and.. well, pretty much EVERYTHING had her gorgeous little grumpy face on!! Tardar even made an appearance herself, I really wish I could have gone!

So when I was casually walking around my local Primark at the weekend, I just couldn't help but squeal with happiness when I saw Grumpy Cat on some of their new pyjamas! I am a massive pyjama hoarder as it is, I probably spend more of my life in pyjamas than clothes!! So I just HAD to pick up the pyjamas and a pack of cute lil Tardar themed socks! I really wish my local Primark stocked the Grumpy Cat bedding and stationary though, I was so disappointed when I realised they didn't. The pyjamas are super soft, comfy and not to mention cute and the socks are super soft and warm. I'm just in love with this collaboration and I want it ALL! I am IN LOVE with Grumpy Cat and her brother Pokey! I wish he had a collection out too, he is SO cute!

The Grumpy Cat X Primark range boasts of gorgeous pink hues with cartoon images of Tardar as well as photographs of him too. The Pyjamas retail at £7-£8 for PJ bottoms and £4.50-£6 for a vest or t-shirt. The socks retail at £2.50 for a pack of three and the bedding set starts at £16 for a single duvet set.
