CHP Hayward Officers Turn Rescuers for 'Grumpy Cat' Doppelgänger on Bay Area RoadsSource: CHP - Hayward

Officers from the CHP Hayward branch rescued a Grumpy Cat lookalike who recklessly drifted into the bustling traffic on Tuesday. As reported by the CHP Hayward’s official social media, the officers safely guided traffic and rescued the feline from danger.

The chaos began when concerned commuters noticed a small, grumpy-faced feline navigating the roadways. The CHP secured the cat, and upon further inspection, it was noted that the cat likely had a place to call home and that an owner was awaiting her return.

Garnering attention for more than just her close call with commuter chaos, the small feline bears an "uncanny" resemblance to the late internet celebrity Grumpy Cat. Grumpy Cat captivated hearts with her underwhelmed gaze and became ensconced in the kingdom of internet lore by gracing merchandise and even the silver screen. Echoing the sentiments of the CHP, the San Francisco Chronicle noted the doppelgänger nature of the rescued cat.
