Sorry Grumpy Cat, there is a new cranky cat<\/a> on the block and her name is Koyuki, a nine-year-old Scottish Fold hailing from Yokohama, Japan.<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

The feisty looking feline \u2013 who\u2019s name translates as \u2018light snow\u2019 \u2013 is fast becoming a social media sensation much like her predecessor thanks to her scowling expression.<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

Koyuki\u2019s trademark look is due to her upturned eyes and forehead markings that resemble a deep furrow, creating a stare so icy that even the toughest of dogs who cross her path will be left quaking.<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

But despite her angry expression, Koyuki is reportedly a very happy cat, enjoying regular cat naps, grooming sessions and even her medication!<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

Koyuki has now amassed 47,200 Instagram<\/a> followers and 53,700 on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

\"grumpy<\/p>\n

This sour puss\u2019s newfound internet fame may not bring a smile to her face but it certainly will to her legion of fans!<\/p>\n
