A Persian cat with a natural grouchy face is now being dubbed the 'new grumpy cat' after the death of 'catfluencer' Tardar Sauce last month.
Louis, a six-year-old cat from Austin, Texas, has amassed a strong Instagram following thanks to his natural frown that makes him look like he is absolutely enraged.
The white and yellow Persian cat also has a look of dismay beneath his whiskers and eyes that are constantly glazed with fury.
Owner Michelle Alexis said: "Louis is a full breed Persian but people often ask if he has a genetic disorder because they think his facial features are an exception, but he is completely normal.
"People usually react saying he looks like a human old man! They love his big 'marble eyes' that he squints often."
The 26-year-old medical scribe also explained that Louis' grumpiness might be his love-hate relationship with his furry friend Monae, who is a Lynx Point Siamese.
She said Monae has always had the upper hand over the poor Louis.
Michelle added: "When we got Monae she was a baby and Louis was a full grown cat, and yet she bullied him for two months straight.
"She even tackles and picks at him, but really she loves him.
"Louis is now referred to as the 'new Grumpy Cat', but he is actually very sweet, happy and playful.
"He loves to snuggle and give head rubs, he will chase lasers and play with toys."
Louis, with his 3,000-strong fans on Instagram, is in a competition to be dubbed as the country's new 'Grumpy Cat'.
Tardar Sauce, who was born with feline dwarfism, passed away in May 17 due to an infection.
