Grumpy Cat is going to be made into a waxwork.

The miserable internet sensation, whose pet name is Tarder Sauce, will be the first cat ever to be immortalised at Madame Tussauds.

Her figure will be an animatronic creation and - if you believe the PR team behind the announcement - Grumpy Cat has been talking about the decision.

"This is truly an honour… I hate it," she said.

The waxwork is being made by Madame Tussauds in San Francisco.

Grumpy Cat became well known when her photo was posted on Reddit in 2012.

To dispel suspicions that the image had been altered, two videos were loaded to YouTube and they went viral.

Nicole Fenner from Madame Tussauds London said: "We're all very excited about Madame Tussauds San Francisco's announcement.

"She will launch there and then tour five other Madame Tussauds attractions in the US."

At present there are no plans to bring the wax and fur creation to the United Kingdom - but that may change if people here want to see it.

Nicole told Newsbeat: "In London we will soon be welcoming fellow YouTube sensations Zoe Sugg and Alfie Deyes' figures, so there would be a natural place for Grumpy Cat should she cross the pond.

"As always, if people want to see their favourite stars they should ask for them via our social media channels - then watch this space."
