Move over, Grumpy Cat. There's a new cat in town.

Meet Concerned Kitten. The 8-week-old furball from Bolton, Greater Manchester earned the  name after his owners noticed his small eyebrow shaped markings make him look permanently surprised. 

'When he was born there were just these two little black blotches on his forehead,' owner Andy Entwistle tells the Daily Mail. 'As he grew they got bigger and started to spread out. We started saying how confused he looked so I penned him 'Concerned Kitten' and it's just stuck.'

Concerned Kitten's real name is Gary, named after Gary Barlow because when the singer hits high notes, he holds his eyebrows up.  Most of Concerned Kitten's brothers and sisters have been rehomed but Entwistle says they couldn't part with him after seeing those distinct markings.

As for Internet haters that accuse them of drawing the eyebrows on:

'If anyone doesn't believe it, we're happy to try and rub them off. They're not going anywhere!'
