SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah cat who got famous on Instagram for his grumpy looks and charming personality passed away.
In a tribute on Instagram, the post stated that Albert is, "off to the rainbow bridge where I shall hang out with new friends eternally in a never ending sunny spot."
In 2017, FOX 13 News spoke to the Utah business where the cat lived. They said Albert was a sweetheart despite his scary looks.
"I was sweeter than I let on, but still loved biting & clawing hair & pushing things off desks," the Instagram post said. "I enjoyed my fame as it gave me all of you wonderful followers whom I felt were friends."
Pompous Albert is a selkirk rex breed of cat, and was adopted by the office after a coworker couldn't keep him any more, the Utah business told FOX 13 News in the original report.
The Pompous Albert account has over 308,000 followers from all over the world.
