Gigglebit is Siliconrepublic’s daily dose of the funny and fantastic in science and tech, to help start your day on a lighter note.

With Gigglebit, we turn the spotlight on humorous and/or amazing content about science and tech, because sometimes the lighter side should be taken seriously, too.

Today, there’s a new Grumpy Cat in town, and he goes by the name of Garfi.

Garfi’s owner, Hulya Ozkok, set up a Flickr account especially to share photos of the cantankerous cat at the request of her son.

His grouchy mug has since captured worldwide attention, as we’ve already learned how much the internet loves ill-tempered cats.

Now he’s an internet celebrity, Garfi has joined Facebook, Twitter and Instagram so that social media followers everywhere can get regular updates of what fresh hell is ruining his day.

For starters, Garfi has no time for haters.

 

And he really dislikes it when fans demand he do his Jabba the Hut impression.

 

 

Haircuts are an endless disappointment.

Don’t ever disturb him when reading.

And always make sure you photograph him from his good side.

Garfi is also not amused by your attempts to make Christmas happen in October.
