Woman Adopts Grandparents' Grumpy Cat | The Dodo Cat Crazy 

Sounding like she smoked a pack a day for 15 years. I love her.

She's been trying to tell everyone for 15 years that she just wanted to go outside 🤣

"Why do you have an onion?" *My goals are beyond your understanding*

I'm glad she's living her golden years with someone who was already family.

that is one good looking healthy 15 year old kitty

“She’s quite upset. She doesn’t like people today.” Same Mackenzie, same!

I don’t think she’s grumpy but that’s her normal meow while she’s trying to imitate elders’ voices 🥲

Can we talk about the cutest outdoor gear this cat is sporting? 💁🏽‍♀️💕

Angela: "Why do you have an onion?" Mackenzie: *That's not important information, what is important, is that it's mine and you shall not have it.*

"She's quite upset. She doesn't like people today." Ah sounds like me 🥰

So happy to hear that more people realise that senior cats have value too and deserve a second chance at happiness!

I inherited a grumpy grandparent cat too. He's very mean, but I still love him.

Angela is a kind of granddaughter every grandparents proud to have. She discover an adventures soul in Mackenzie. Amazing pair.

She started a non profit called My Grandpa's Cat to make arrangements to home cats when their senior owner passes.

My cat who passed last June had a very similar deep voice. She too was hiding the fact she was a good girl under a cover of grumpiness. I miss her every day.

You BOTH have reduced this former Air Force survival instructor to tears. THANK YOU for NOT giving up on her. My 2 girls are both rescues & the effort put into them has been MORE THAN WORTH IT!!!!! They are my little girls. PLEASE FOLKS....DON'T BUY a fur baby ADOPT A RESCUE CAT OR DOG.....I promise you it's the BEST MOVE YOU'LL EVER MAKE I PROMISE !!!!!!! ALL of my fur babies {BOTH CTS & DOGS} have been rescues & they made my life SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!

The fact that Angela chose enrichment as a route to this feisty girl's heart is just so incredibly insightful. Well done. That was inspiring.

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

Mackenzie's new mother sounds like an absolutely fantastic person, too.

We inherited my Dad's grouchy cat when he passed and it took three years, but he loves us now.

“She loves to be loved, but doesn’t want you to know it.” She’s a tsundere… am I wrong?

I feel that because she would have known this cat for years beforehand, she was able to know that Mackenzie's moaning wasn't a sign that she didn't love or was a hostile cat. Most people would see this grumbling, growly cat and pass her by. Lucky kitty, lucky owner.

This old kitty looks so good and healthy, you can see he's living the good life with grandparents and now with granddaughter 😍

I love how she showered her with attention even though she wasn't nice. Most people would have just started ignoring her I think.

She's not grumpy, she's a metal singer! All growls and shouty on stage but just a big old softy under it all 😊

Angela was raised right! I am so thrilled she honored her grandparents by taking in their cat - I wish more people were like her.

"Why do you have an onion?" "None-yun buisness."

I love that she started taking her outside and trips in the car!!!!How exciting for her and great way to spend her retirement years

Her granddad is up there looking at them thinking "Look at my girls having littles adventures!" he must be so happy!

This young woman is simply wonderful. Not many relatives or friends are able to bring a grieving pet into their home, regardless of how much they loved the deceased owner. To do so while embracing the Grump shows the true lovely spirit Angela possesses, and no Angela, it’s not just your grandparents that are proud of you - we all are 😀

Some families will just bring their grandparent's pets to the animal shelter. That is so sad that some families do that to their grandparent's and the pets who just lost their loved one. Glad this lady adopted Mackenzie!!

She doesn’t even look like the same cat anymore. Thank you for being amazing you two were meant for each other.

I have a special place in my heart for cats labelled aggressive or grumpy, cause people often just misunderstand them 💞

The only thing that scares me about dying, is the fate of my animals. I'm convinced no one would be able to give them the amount of love, and spoiling, that I do and I'm sure her grandparents felt the same way. So by taking the cat and giving her a great brand new life, Angela is paying the ultimate tribute to her grandparents.

For 15 years, poor McKenzie was saying 'ffs take me on an adventure'.

That's a good looking cat for 15 years old. I'm glad she found a loving home with you, your grandparents would be very happy.

So many animals are abandoned or put in shelters when they lose their person/people. I am so happy to see this story & that Angela took in Mackenzie. Especially since this is a very close link/bond to her beloved grandparents who have passed.

Cat : Mind your ownion business....

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.

Aw her grandparents are going to be so happy to know shes loved and shown the world outside of the house 😄

No matter how grumpy a cat is I love animals all same,They are the Cutest,most beautiful creatures ever🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯

I think Mackenzie is just a very intelligent cat and she thinks she’s talking or communicating when she’s growling. She hears people making sounds around her so she mimics in the only way she knows how. What a great story.

It looks like this cat treats everyday as Monday

That is amazing that she’s doing all this at 15 years old. You guys are a precious pair!🍐

My dads two cat laid with him in the bed as he quietly passed away, the family was next to him also. The cats knew something because they gazed at him as if listening to something he was saying, they never took their eyes off him.

Angela has so much positivity when she talks to the cat

We adopted a distant family members 13 year old grumpy cat upon their death. He’s brought so much love & joy to our home. I recommend this for anyone looking for a companion. Don’t over look elder cats, they are so NOT boring & oh so rewarding!

OMG everything Mackenzie does is making me laugh with delight. She is so spicy. I love it. And her owner is doing an incredibly amazing job taking care of her. Well done!

"growling is just her love language" honestly, same.

I think if Angela's grandparents could see this, they'd be so proud and so happy that Mackenzie is being treated like a queen.

You guys are soulmates. And your grandparents are definitely watching over you both. I worship kitties. I worship their personalities. I love kitties. If they were to invade the planet, I would worship them.

I have always had this thing about cats with an attitude, the unfriendly ones. I love the social and cuddly ones, too, but those with an attitude are so amazing. Mack is perfect.

“Loves to be loved, but doesnt want you to know” A tsundere, then. 🤣

Not a grumpy cat, an adventure cat! Sweet kitty! Bless you for adopting her.

"Mackenzie loves to be loved, but doesn't want you to know" Yep, definitely a tsundere cat

“She’s quite upset. She doesn’t like people today.” Never knew I could relate to a cat so much

I had a cat like that. Especially when you would talk to her. She was sweet

My cat is a growler too. And those little huffs through the nose is her warning she's irritated with me lol.

"Growling is her love language. Mackenzie loves to be loved, but doesn't want you to know." A Tsundere

I feel so bad for kitties and doggies who's owners pass away, especially elderly ones. Too often they are tossed out on to the streets. They mourn for us you know. She is probably confused and being torn away from grandparents and now with someone else in a different home is a lot to deal with all at once. I admire her patience.

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.

Cat: go mind your own business. Leave me and my onion alone

Love Mackenzie’s spicy attitude! Glad she is thriving in her new space! Lucky her that she gets to go out and explore.

Mackenzie: *has an onion* Everyone: ONIONS Mackenzie: Do not question my desires.

So glad you kept her and gave your grandfather peace.

Bless Angela 1) for honouring her grandparents' wish to have Mackenzie looked after 2) for showing kindness and patience to Mackenzie in this second stage of her life.

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

This is sweetest story ever. My husband died a year ago and his dog, age 14, is just like your cat, grumpy and mean. Going out with me is his only joy.

"She's quite upset. She doesn't like people today." *every introvert*

Something about Angela's voice and way of speaking is so reassuring. No wonder grumpy Mackenzie trusts her :D

this has to be the best cat owner ever. always making the cat super happy and giving mack such a nice life, all while enjoying it immensely herself

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

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.

I love how you have done this for not only you and 'grumpy' kitty but for your grandparents as well. Mack has such a good life with you.

She sounds like a broken Motorcycle. She's adorable ❤️❤️

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.

Mack's walking jackets are so cute!

I got to say kudos to the amazing young woman who loves her cat greatly

Finally, a cat that looks and acts like mine in the media instead of those perfect cuddly cats Hollywood keeps pushing down our throats

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

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

Mackenzie: i am the Grumpy cat of the house and i OWNED this onion, please do not touch it, just DONT

This girl Angela is probably gonna be such a loving sweetest wife and such a caring sensitive mother!😊 Bless her and the kitty!🐈🐈🐈❤❤❤

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

She seems like the kind of person who waves to both dogs and children when she sees them in the street, and I find that so sweet. She is literally a Disney princess.

Angela, you are a an internet sensation! Everybody loves this story and you. This is what life and loving is about.

This is 4 minutes of purrrfection 😾🥰 Made my day 💝 I lost my 23 year old kitty baby over a year ago. She was my everything. I have terminal cancer (no need to feel sad, nothing is set in stone as far as I'm concerned and I have AMAZINGING support). The hardest part was feeling I could never have another fur companion, worrying it would be left homeless and grieving if I passed. I got the idea of adopting senior pets who unfairly found themselves alone. I recently adopted 2 puppy-yupples 10 and 12 years old. They act like they won the lottery but their joy makes me feel like I did, they are pure love, mischief and laughter. I still miss my baby every day, but it sure is wonderful to be able to have them in my life. They have a home should I go before them. But it has made me think about setting up something in my state for the elderly or people in my situation, where we give loving homes to pets who lose their owner knowing that if we pass first our fur babies will have loving homes to go to themselves. Worrying about the safety and welfare of our loved ones and in particular our pets who can only rely on the goodness of others is easily the most stressful and heartbreaking worry of having a terminal illness or I suspect getting old. 💙

I imagine they were really worried about McKenzie, since she is such a grouch. She was very lucky.

She needs to write a children's book about Mackenzie and her adventures

Omg my cat is exactly like her! and she makes the same noises, but not because she is bad or upset, just because she is old (17 years old) and grumpy, but she used to be the most affectionate cat when she was younger

I'm so happy for her that's she's having such great adventures in her senior years.

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.

Her: i love you Mackenzie: Arrrwwwrrrllraarr

What a sweet video. You and Mackenzie are a perfect match. You showed her patience and in turn you have a best friend. I love the jackets she wears. You seem like the perfect person to have a cat. Best with Mackenzie!

“Why do you have an onion?” Mackenzie: “my goals are beyond your understanding”

You replaced her boredom with a great new life. She looks wonderful for being an older cat and just may live a lot longer now. You both are awesome together. 🥰🥰🥰

That cat needed to get outside, the attitude change was instantaneous. Good Lick with her and God Bless 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️

I'm loving her in that coat. Runway worthy!😍

Thank you for taking in your grandparents' kitty. You are an angel. So many family members shelter-dump their families' pets. I hope Mackenzie knows she is one of the lucky ones

Angela, you are such a sweetheart and just the most kind hearted woman to carry on taking care of that most adorable sweet cat, he's gorgeous! We're all so proud of you here and I'm sure everyone loves you for being kind and loving and so caring for the cat. We ALL say thank you so much for your love!!
