Don't let that cockeyed scowl fool you. Behind those copper eyes and snaggletooth lies a heart of gold.

Griffin von Porkchop, a 4-year-old exotic shorthair living in Vancouver, Canada with three other felines, just began his Internet cat career. Griffin was born with an asymmetrical jaw, which causes his snaggletooth.

His owner, Quil, received him from a cat breeder at only eight weeks old, and other than his minor facial abnormality, Griffin is a healthy cat.

Besides his normal kitty quirks, Griffin is an adventurous feline who enjoys walking on a leash and has a particular fondness for fruit and candy.

According to his owner, "you need to hide it whenever its around because he'll nose his way to your hand and try and snatch it. Even things that cats should hate like peppermint and cinnamon, he loves it." Griffin usually settles for yogurt when he can't get his candy fix.

Despite his resting kitty glare, Griffin is an affectionate pet. "He loves to lay beside you or watch whatever it is you're doing. He also enjoys meowing for no reason whatsoever as loud as he can usually at 2 a.m.," his human told Mashable.

Grumpy Cat may have found her match. Fans can follow all of Griffin's antics on Instagram and Twitter. His owner also hosts more pictures and videos of Griffin on Imgur and YouTube.
