“There are two types of people…I hate both” is the most popular slogan of the new cat mania on the Internet. The reason for this is a new Internet sensation - "The Angriest Cat in the World" named Tartar Sauce, which has not only become one of the most recognizable memes on the web, but also an inspiration for creative people.

After numerous news and morning shows, personalized cookies and magazine covers, Tard (short for nickname) has become a muse for more than three dozen Lowe Mill ARTS & Entertainment artists in Huntsville, Alabama. Their works, created as part of the Angry Cat art project, will be sold at an online auction at the end of May. Proceeds from the project will go towards various programs and a playground at the art center, which provides studio space for 100 working artists.
