“不爽貓”電子蠟像現身杜莎夫人蠟像館

Grumpy Cat is immortalized at Madame Tussauds with her own animatronic figure

Call it a purr-fect imitation.

你可以叫它完美喵模型。

Madame Tussauds San Francisco now includes an animatronic version of Grumpy Cat.

位于舊金山的杜莎夫人蠟像館現在有了一個卡通電子版“不爽貓”。

The replica was presented next to the popular cat on Tuesday.

這尊模型上周二開始對外展出，“不爽貓”真身也到場助興。

Her owner, Tabatha Bundesen, was on hand and snapped imitating her pet's famed facial expression.

不爽貓的主人塔比瑟·邦德森還在現場模仿了自家貓咪經典的不爽表情。

A photo of the real Grumpy Cat with the faux version was shared by Madame Tussauds on Facebook.

杜莎夫人蠟像館在自己的臉書主頁上分享了不爽貓與其模型的對照圖。

The snap was captioned: 'The Official Grumpy Cat continues to be completely unimpressed by everything, including her own animatronic double! ‪#‎GrumpyWax.'

配圖文字稱：“正版不爽貓還是一如既往地對任何東西都無動于衷，對自己的雕像也是如此。#不爽貓蠟像#”。

Grumpy Cat 'is the first cat in Madame Tussauds history to be immortalized,' a press release said.

蠟像館在其新聞稿中稱，不爽貓模型“成為杜莎夫人蠟像館歷史上第一只貓咪雕像，可以永垂青史了”。

The release claimed: '"I can’t believe this is happening," said Grumpy Cat of her reveal, "This is absolutely awful."'

新聞稿還打趣道：“不爽貓此刻的內心是崩潰的，‘簡直不敢相信眼前發生的這一切，太可怕了’。”

The cat's website says 'Grumpy Cat became an internet sensation after her photo was posted on Reddit on September 22, 2012.

不爽貓的官網顯示：“2012年9月22日，不爽貓的照片出現在Reddit上，然后一夜之間成了網絡紅人。”

'It was suggested that the original photo was photoshopped, so we posted a few videos on YouTube.

“有人說出現在Reddit上的照片是PS過的，所以我們又上傳了幾個視頻到YouTube上。”

'The videos went viral and her popularity has continued to increase!'

“這些視頻在網上瘋傳，不爽貓的受歡迎度持續升溫!”

Tardar Sauce is the cat's actual name.

不爽貓的真名為塔達·索斯。

Her website says: 'She really isn't grumpy!

其官網稱：“她其實并不是對什么都不爽!”

'She is a super cute and cuddly kitty and loves to be held and rubbed!'

“她是一個超級可愛的小貓，喜歡別人抱她、摸她”。

It also says: 'Her petite size and famous face is likely due to feline dwarfism and her rear end wobbles a bit when she walks due to this; otherwise she is a perfect little kitty!'

網站還補充道：“她嬌小的體型和看似不爽的表情，很可能是因為她患有貓咪侏儒癥。也正因為這個原因，她走路時，尾部會不穩;除此之外，她就是一只完美貓咪!”

The press release said: 'Grumpy Cat’s animatronic will have several movements.

新聞稿還稱：“電子版不爽貓還是會動的呢，會好幾個動作。”

'It is also the first mechanical figure made by Madame Tussauds in over a century.'

“這也是杜莎夫人蠟像館一個多世紀以來的第一個機械雕像。”
