The Internet’s beloved cat, named Tardar Sauce or “Tard” for short, was at South By Southwest’s Interactive festival Thursday as part of a promotion for Friskies cat food.

While Tard can’t help but look grumpy because of feline dwarfism, the kitty was not happy to be under the hot camera lights.

“She’s very calm,” Tard owner Bryan Bundesen told the Austin Chronicle. “She likes confined spaces, so when she’s in her carrier she’s super-calm and just goes to sleep. She travels well.”
