First Grumpy Cat, then Angry Cat - now Surprised Cat! Meet Banye, the British Shorthair whose wide eyes make him look perpetually stunned
By Mail Online Reporter
A new furry feline has joined the ranks of internet cat royalty, thanks to his perpetually shocked face. Banye, an 11-year-old British Shorthair from China, follows in the footsteps (or should we say, paws) of Grumpy Cat and Angry Cat with his own moniker: Surprised Cat.
Thanks to his wide eyes and a patch of dark fur strategically grown beneath his mouth, Banye has amassed a large following after his owner, Shanghai-based winnnie, posted photos of him on the Pinterest-like site Duitang. Scroll down for video

Ms Ozkok devoted a Flickr album to her unusual-looking cat at the suggestion of her son, and it has been viewed more than 52,000 times. In the images, Garfi sports a variety of whimsical accessories, such as a black-and-white striped knit cap and a lavender headband adorned with a flower.

The feline that started it all is Grumpy Cat, who last year became the face of Friskies.
Grumpy Cat's own Facebook page has nearly seven million likes. The dour animal also has more than 239,000 Twitter followers and even has a movie deal in the works.
Grumpy Cat is owned by Tabatha Bundesen, who lives in Phoenix, and is a regular visitor at the offices of Vogue and Lucky magazine.
