Woman Adopts Grandparents' Grumpy Cat | The Dodo Cat Crazy

After Angela's grandparents passed away, her family searched for the best home for the cat they had for 15 years. Angela just knew she had to take Mackenzie in, even though Mackenzie was feisty and grumpy all the time. She showered her with love, and one day, decided to start taking her out for adventures to see if Mackenzie would react a certain way. Now, that's how the two bond ❤️

@@jaymac7203 can you blame the grandparents though? From how Angela explained it, it sounded like they were already too sick to go outside themselves.

[@asterismos5451]

@@kytrensol9777 Yeah, not everyone has the time to take their cats outside and unsupervised outdoor cats are something I can't get behind ethically since they have caused the extinctions of many native species across the world. The best compromise I guess is having them wear a bell since hunting is then made a lot more difficult but they are still at danger from cars then and no one wants that. You can play indoors with your cats if you can't take them out, and building little fenced-in window seats and indoor play walls is a great idea and a great way to keep your cats stimulated and having fun.

[@kytrensol9777]

@@asterismos5451 the way I see it for Angela's grandparents... They used to take Mackenzie outside almost all the time, but as their health declined they couldn't travel much so Mackenzie had to stay at home instead. The cat didn't like that unfortunately and that's why she became grumpy until Angela adopted her and started taking her outside.

Bethany Smith. My biological mother had a mental chemical imbalance and gave me up when I was 2. Then my maternal Grandparents took me and gave me a wonderful home until I was 9, when they lost their Church..he was a sweet pastor. They were already seniors, and their daughter, my Aunt and Uncle adopted me. It hurt so losing each home. I thought there was something wrong with me (that's how kids think.) But time has shown me that I was always loved, and the most perceptive friends who knew about my childhood, would say, it's good you stayed in the same family. Your comment was healing about grumpy cat. "I'm glad she spent her senior years with someone who was already family." Thank you.🙏

But many animals create extraordinary bonds with their people and animals can shut down from grief just like us. So sad too as they just need time, compassion and a bit of love.

She was grumpy because she was frustrated by the same old indoor routine. Cats are natural explorers, very inquisitive, hold large teritories and need that freedom.

[@Edie45]

I adopted an 11 year old cat in March. All the way home in the carrier in the car he made a noise like growling. It was difficult to tell though because I thought it might be a form of purring only with his mouth open. After three and a half months, he does it less so maybe it was growling. He has only recently allowed me to pet some parts of his body other than his ears and head. He lets me know that he doesn’t want to be petted but that knowledge sometimes comes with claws extended and a strong effort to bite. There is nothing gentle about that bite either ... half my hand at times and the claws are regularly sharpened so they draw blood too. He is slowly learning what the expression No Claws means and is adapting. Because he is so darned smart and sassy and well-behaved overall, I love him to bits. As I am learning about tuxedo cats, I’m finding that most of his behaviours are very normal for a piebald cat. At age 76 this is my first time having a feline roommate so I have a lot to learn.

[@drunkenarmadillo3827]

I find the best way to win them over is through playing. None of my cats have ever been able to resist chasing an old rope, a few of them use a ping pong ball as a football. He probably was growling on the way home but that sounds perfectly normal. My rescue cats always disappear behind the couch for the first week, I leave them food but eventually they are lured out by..the rope..! Younger cats adjust more easily, your cat is an adult, and it probably sucked to have someone make decisions about your life and where you get transported to. I'd probably growl too 😊 Good luck with your new cat adventure

[@chelseagirl278]

He looks adorable 🥰❤️🐈‍⬛

[@jenniferloftus2363]

Don't ever let anyone tell you cats cannot be trained. They can. If you keep saying No Claws, and then turning away and not playing with the cat, he will know exactly what it means. I have trained a cat to sit for a treat, to jump up when I smack the seat or table, and a few other things. I hope you and your cat have a long lovely life together. Takes them a bit before they're ok with being petted everywhere and just in case you don't know this, they turn to show you their underside but this isn't a universal invite to a belly rub.

Mackenzie reminds me of my Tuxi who we adopted at 19 after my friend died. She was feisty but she mellowed out, and we started taking her outside in a little harness. However it was just to the front yard, as Tuxi lost her sight and also got car sick easily. But she lived being in the front yard and walking around. We lost her three weeks ago and we miss her so much.

[@rickbrenner6079]

So sorry for your losses. Thank you for adopting Tuxi at 19 yrs old for her last remaining days on this rock💙. Your friend knows u adopted her and loved her dearly till her last day.

What an amazing granddaughter! Mackenzie is so lucky to have such a wonderful extended family. And, of course, they are lucky to have her.

This is a good example of why you should give your cats some good outdoor time. 15 years old and she adapted quickly. Have a little patients and give them some fresh air.

[@Maverick99]

@@speedytypermananswers5551 it's common knowledge you don't take out your cat without a leash or at least it should be...

[@ChristophProbst]

@@Maverick99 - I was fortunate that my cat was trained that she always came when I called her. Not having her on a leash let her run up trees and run full speed outside around the yard.

[@muffs55mercury61]

I would if my yard was fenced off. So what I did was partition part of the back porch off and they can go out the doggie door I put in and roam out there.

Grumpy cats are still great cats that should have love no matter what happens.

[@GamerplayerWT]

She was “grumpy” because she was an adventure cat, not a homebody.

[@neothinkeralpha7540]

[@lillic8522]

@@neothinkeralpha7540 as I understood she was always grumpy, even when still living with her first ‚parents‘. I don‘t know, whether they let her out in the garden or just kept her in the house. I know that my cat would never have tolerated that.

Cats are not meant to be kept indoors.

[@tucor]

@@mokkorista They are safer indoors and so are the many animals they like to hunt. They decimate bird populations. Mine are staying inside where they are safe from other animals, cars, and disease.

[@mokkorista]

@@tucor that's, frankly, bs. It's like saying tigers belong to zoo, because they don't get poached, they don't decimate gazelles. Cats might have been domesticated, but they are still predators and staying indoors is against their nature.

So kind of you to adopt your grandparent’s beloved pet cat. Most people would have put her in animal shelter. God bless you!

Cats -- they're not animals, they are cat-people

[@rosemarylopez5738]

@@tdbhmusic my family would not either.

[@suzy1750]

@@tdbhmusic But some would. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, you wouldn't believe the things we saw. I volunteered at a no kill shelter that made the commitment that it would always take back any animal that had come from there, at any time, for any reason. They did ask for a surrender fee of $100 as a donation to the shelter but, if the person couldn't afford it, they would still take the animal back. No 'alumni' of the shelter was ever turned away. But we still had kids and grandkids dumping off their recently deceased parent's or grandparent's pets at nearby kill-shelters because they didn't want to pay the fee. They couldn't even be bothered to call and ask. Because our animals are micro-chipped the kill-shelters would scan them, find out that they had come from us and call us. We would go and collect them and call the owners in case the cat/dog had actually been lost. In most cases, nope, they just couldn't be bothered to pay $100 (or call and ask if they could forego it) for grandma's kitty that had been her faithful companion for the last ten years of her life...unbelievable.

[@pawwalker3492]

@@suzy1750- I used to volunteer at shelters, too. And you're right - people do the saddest things for the most heartless reasons. I burned out. Now I do off-site things to help, but I can't go into the animal rooms anymore. People who think animals aren't "aware" don't have hearts or souls.

She is the special kind of person who wants to adopt senior kitties and give them a wonderful golden years home. Unfortunately, the shelters are full of senior cats that people removed from their home just because they're old and may have health issues

[@tdbhmusic]

have you visited a shelter recently and saw this? I usually see one or two seniors in a sea of adult cats and a handful of kittens. The seniors stay there a long time yes, but I'm not sure your comment is accurate. I have a friend who literally went to shelters and adopted like five of their oldest longest lasting residents.

[@tdbhmusic]

For me the biggest issue would be cost of medications, plus cats can be extremely difficult to medicate. Pill Pockets saved us, and I adored my senior cat, he was such a mellow sweet boy. I mean not everyone is well endowed with a fat bank account is all.

[@Seattle-ish]

Thank you for showing grumpy cats are awesome. I have a grumpy cat that is my baby. She is 14 now and my angel. She has calmed down in her age but still spicy with people she doesn't know.

I wonder if Mackenzie was grumpy all of those years because she saw everyone else go out regularly, while she remained locked up in the house, albeit with people who loved her. Taking her out opened up a whole new world for her.

Oh my goodness! Going outside was the thing she needed. How wonderful to see her change and love her adventures. ♥️

If she hadn’t adopted Mack, her grumpy cat nature would have ended in her euthanasia as she would have been considered not suitable to adopt at a shelter. So happy Mack got to stay with family who saw the spark in her and knew all cats deserve to be loved.

Do you know what I loved most about this & what really brought a tear to my eye? Angela, you didn’t want to replace your grandparents - you just wanted to be another companion for Mackenzie, & from one cat mum to another.. you definitely achieved that. I had 6 beautiful furrbabies, & as each of them has passed from old age or illness, I’m sadly now down to just one.. I have no children or partner, I’m disabled, & I can’t imagine my life without an animal in it, but fear leaving this earth with no one to take care of my furrbabies or love on them like I do. This really warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing your little story, & May you continue to have lots more adventures together 🥰💗 xx
