Woman Adopts Grandparents' Grumpy Cat | The Dodo Cat Crazy

- Опубліковано 11 чер 2021
- 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 ❤️

Sounding like she smoked a pack a day for 15 years. I love her.
I had a precious old Torty. She lived to 24 years. God, bless her.
😂😂
Im fkn dead 😂
More like a hundred a day 😂
Smoked 2 packs!!!!😹🤭😉
"Why do you have an onion?"
*My goals are beyond your understanding*
"My onion. You can't have it."
hahaahhahhaahha
"I'm absorbing its flavor into my personality."
Ogres are like onions
love the flash reference :)
She's been trying to tell everyone for 15 years that she just wanted to go outside 🤣
Indoor cats always want to go outside, but seldom want to stay there.
Imagine that? A cat just wanting to do cat things? People who don't let their cats outside piss me off. 😤
@@jaymac7203 can you blame the grandparents though? From how Angela explained it, it sounded like they were already too sick to go outside themselves.
@@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.
@@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.
I'm glad she's living her golden years with someone who was already family.
Angela,,,,you are responsible for making Mackenzie's golden years shine. This is the kindest thing you could possibly do for your grandparents. Bless you!
Good point 👏
Thank you for that comment💗
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.🙏
@@rstrader2516 I'm glad you got to stay with family to raise and love you
that is one good looking healthy 15 year old kitty
I can’t believe that no one has brought that up apart from you it seems, she looks amazing for her age, she must’ve been very loved!
Fifteen! Some older cats fur lose their shine overtime 😯 MacKenzie still looks just as young and fluffy! Such a beautiful kitty.
My mom had a cat that lived 23 years and could still jump up on the highest counters and the refrigerator until about the last 6 months she was alive. That cat was like 7 or 8 before I was even born and already had her own son lol.
@Blue Skies you're *
@Blue Skies I think she's talking about when you said "Your both right". It should be "You're" there.
“She’s quite upset. She doesn’t like people today.”
Same Mackenzie, same!
She's the introvert
Same for me too
Ha! That has been my day today!
That statement resonates with me Soo much....
Lol! Like me when some dumb a@@ wake me up when we are not even Thare on a feid trip it makes me mad and I have screamed so loud the hole bus became quite for about 4 minutes and I slept until we ware thare
I don’t think she’s grumpy but that’s her normal meow while she’s trying to imitate elders’ voices 🥲
She does it when you come close and she hits
I think you may be right be she also does seem kinda grumpy or just upset with the way she breathes and moves her tail imo
exactly My cat does similar things too ㅋㅋ
Can we talk about the cutest outdoor gear this cat is sporting? 💁🏽♀️💕
That pink coat was SUPER CUTE
I like the raincoat.
Just a fashionista, with the best taste in current outerwear
I was thinking the same thing .. I have 3 big cats. 2 girls and a boy. 7 human years old. Now I am going to search for that beautiful outdoor harness. I love it ...
The yellow raincoat!
She started a non profit called My Grandpa's Cat to make arrangements to home cats when their senior owner passes.
This needs to be the top comment! Do you have a link?
Very good service for a very real need! God bless🙏.
This is such an amazing idea that I bet many people don't think about
Aw that’s so sweet!!
Wow. So there ARE still good people in the world! :)
She was “grumpy” because she was an adventure cat, not a homebody.
Because she misses her previous guardians 😹 Outdoors became a good distraction from her old memories. Angela is a cat-whisperer .👌💞😻
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
Sorry for your loss.
So happy to hear that more people realise that senior cats have value too and deserve a second chance at happiness!
Yepp! Thats why I want to adopt a senior or disabled (or both) cat when I have saved up enough to adopt one :3
@@irimac1806 that's wonderful!
my baby girl mindy lived to be 20 years old and she was as wonderful at 19 as she was at 3. I miss her so much, but my 9 year old boy right now is carrying her torch wonderfully.
@@irimac1806 check your local shelters and foster. the two shelters i fostered for gave me all the stuff the cat would need (at least for a week or two), all donated by others ofcourse.
@@estibon3872 Germany is a little bit different ^^ Also I prefer to have so money saved up in case the kitty has an emergency
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.*
That onion is what is known as "a communication orb". They are used by cats to telepathically communicate with other cats around the world. Science has not yet discovered what all of the cats are saying to each other across all four corners of the earth. Some theorize that they have been conspiring to take control of the world.
😂 lol
@@cardo718 Yes, I have caught my snowy on my mobile phone many times. He pretends not to know what it is, and pushes it off the chest of drawers I keep it on, when he sees me. It has many cracks.
"Do not ask questions you aren't prepared to hear the answers to."
-A wise boating instructor
Unless you want to hear the collective yowling of many cats in your head never eat the onion! I made that mistake now I am a form of the cat internet. It is a completely useless set of knowledge but I now know where all the catnip is. It's like Neo from "The Matrix" but instead of Kung-fu I know Salmon Pate please don't ask me to show you. It gets extremely messy and as soon as I start all I can hear is millions of cats purring in my head. Pure unadulterated lovely madness.
"She's quite upset. She doesn't like people today."
Ah sounds like me 🥰
😂
Righttt LOLLL
In all fairness, the vast majority of humans are unlikeable.
Animals, on the other hand, are by and large wonderful creatures.
@@JohnSmith-mk1rj Well, I guess I don't exist...
@@gL0ssY in all fairness...
It's probably for the best.
I inherited a grumpy grandparent cat too. He's very mean, but I still love him.
It is your one connection to your grandparents. It's very precious.
@@mikshinee87 so if the cat dies you will lose all connections with your grandparents?
He is probably not mean but in need of something, to fell more comfortable and happy. You need to make his life richer.
@JMBBrasil it could also be smth like arthritis, but also keep in mind that sometimes there's no way of knowing whatll change an animals disposition; you just kinda have to stumble upon it. his life may be plenty rich but just not his vibe
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!!!!!!
Is that a hungry badger
Huney
Get a grip man. You're losin it!!!
@@EpicBunty lol
Okayy i really want to adopt a cat. But indont thinknit would be fair for the cat considering my current situation so🥲
Angela is a kind of granddaughter every grandparents proud to have. She discover an adventures soul in Mackenzie. Amazing pair.
SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear ab

@@AxxLAfriku *axxl
I rescued a grumpy calico named Gypsy. She was kicked out of the adoption program for biting. We love her but she is definitely grumpy.
adventures = adventurous
“She loves to be loved, but doesn’t want you to know it.” She’s a tsundere… am I wrong?
*N O*
No
“Mom I want a tsundere cat!”
“We have a tsundere cat at home.”
Tsundere cat at home:
No she's just a female:))
She is like grumpy cat, and I love every second
We inherited my Dad's grouchy cat when he passed and it took three years, but he loves us now.
I LOVE that you didn't give up. Too many people would have lost patients and given up on a pet that stayed grouchy for so long before coming around. 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. You were either raised right and caring for his cat is a way of continuing to love and respect your dad or you're a good person by nature. Either way the cat is very fortunate. You only have too see the overflowing cat rescue organisations to know that 💝
If only they could all be so lucky.
Mackenzie's new mother sounds like an absolutely fantastic person, too.
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.
Hello
Insightful?
@@psi9899 LOL whoops too funny, will edit. thx.
thank you friend
Wonderful job, Angela!
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.
I fear that as well, my only fear in death is leaving my three cats behind, they are accustomed to a very spoiled lifestyle and I rescued them when they were just a few weeks old. I’d hate for them to be separated from each other as well...we are a happy little family
@@Gardeninggal253 get somebody you can trust with h their word, and be sure that person has your information about your pets likes, dislikes etc. If you don't know anybody you can trust with this, or noone is willing to take on the task...find a compassionate animal rescue group. Start with helps ng them, and be honest on what you need from them. There is No reason your pets n Ed to mourn for you, and they will, And be abonanded, thrown to a shelter or worse starve in your house or neighborhood.
Glen please read reply comment below
@@Gardeninggal253 My two guys give me the same worry. They started out as feral in a litter left behind by some very very terrible people who I evicted from my rental property along with 2 dogs, a rabbit and an African tortoise. It took quite a bit of work to gain their trust and now they are totally bonded to me with zero use for anyone else. I'm of social security age and they're 3 years old. This terrifies me.
That thought have changed my relationship with my whole family. There was nothing I wouldn't do for my siblings and their children (even money and my home) until I realized that they would probably give away or put down my fur babies, their biggest and last connection with me the day I died.
Thank goodness my partner and his family are the opposite of mine so I feel safe now and to make things right, I did donate all the money my nieces and nephews were going to inherit to different kind of animal right groups and shelters.
I love how she showered her with attention even though she wasn't nice. Most people would have just started ignoring her I think.
This old kitty looks so good and healthy, you can see he's living the good life with grandparents and now with granddaughter 😍
She*
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.
Yes! It reminds me of the cat that had an almond as a best friend! What they do doesn’t always mean what you might think, you just have to get to know the cat a bit and you’ll learn their true personality and why they do the quirky things they do! 🥰
Her granddad is up there looking at them thinking "Look at my girls having littles adventures!" he must be so happy!
Maybe the grandparents were unable to go outside, so that's why Mackenzie was mostly an indoor cat till Angela adopted her.
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.
For 15 years, poor McKenzie was saying 'ffs take me on an adventure'.
She's not grumpy, she's a metal singer! All growls and shouty on stage but just a big old softy under it all 😊
OMGGG I LOVE THIS!!!😻😜
Maybe she's 'Disturbed'!
Bwahaha.....
Angela was raised right! I am so thrilled she honored her grandparents by taking in their cat - I wish more people were like her.
Me Too!
What a wonderful granddaughter & human being. She is an amazing person.
We were always the family that took a deceased family member’s pet, even though there were 4-5 other families that could have done it but wanted to put the pets in a shelter. I’m glad she stepped up!
Such a great happy ending for them both!
it's also worth mentioning that her grandparents were probably good and caring individuals considering she went to such lengths for their sake. Not to mention that she said her grandpa was worried about his cat on his deathbed
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 💞
I took a cat who was abused, it took me a whole year to pet her.
Cats -- they're not animals, they are cat-people
Or dont want to invest the energy and time to untangle the misunderstandings between human and animal. Every cat needs her own time and stuff you do for her to trust you. My Moms cat (she came to live with us when i was 9 and I had to leave her behind when I moved out at 18 years old) always trusted me again after I cleaned her litterbox. I didnt mind doing it bc I missed doing it for her.
Just like grumpy people. Usually just scared, insecure, sad or lonely. 😿
Yes, there is reasons people as well as animals are disagreeable. Most of the time
Cat : Mind your ownion business....
"Why do you have an onion?"
"None-yun buisness."
"n-onion" business 😜
Moana reference?
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
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 😀
......... able and willing*** 🏘️👍💞😻
💯 Yes, we are!
I couldn't agree with you more Angela your Amazing & McKenzie is fabulous xxx
@@cherryclarke4704 you're *
@@cherryclarke4704 your comment was lovely! 💕
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.
Especially with older animals, it's very traumatizing when they lose their "parents." She is so kind to step in and take the cat. I wish more people were like her.
@@johndough8219 Older animals are the Absolute BEST Pets to Adopt! Have only 1 kitten 😸 and 1 puppy 🐶 in my lifetime all the other pets I have loved ❤ and cared for were older animals that Nasty Selfish people have basically thrown away for various Self Serving reasons🤨
Before you lecture me on what their reasons might have been let me share a few of the 'Reasons'
'She's the wrong color' 'His hair's too bristley, too long, too short, too soft too whatever, "Their toenails are too loud 'They scratch themselves too much' 'They Breathe too loud' 'Tbey eat too loud and drink too much water' plus many other Radiculous reasons. The one that is burned into my very Soul is and I quote, ' that thing is just too damn loving, it does everything I tell it to and it's lived too long thought it would be Dead by now' Seriously! Saddest thing is the last one was my own family member!😖
Former family member, I cut them out of my life After I took the dog 🐕 and cat 🐈 just for good measure.😏
@@octoberschild3115 OMG! I am so glad and thankful you took those babies away from that selfish escuse for a human. I have 3 rescuses. Actually, my oldest is 16 now and she is a sassy girl, too. But she also loves on me, too. She lets me know when she's had enough of me petting her and then within a few minutes she starts giving me head bunts. Everything is on her terms. She is the queen and she rules her kingdom. I am lucky she found us when she was maybe 5 weeks old. Lucky Mackenzie to have found new love after losing her family.
@@ginamcmillen6553 the big boy Brutus was a King Shepherd and lived to be 12! That's a long time for Shepherds and I miss him Every single day but his buddy/brother a Black Cat named Lovey is still with me and he is 19 yrs old! He missed his dog brother but has found new siblings Chezzy another Black Cat (male) and his new Sister Chi (female) a Jack Russell as loveable as his beloved Brutus 💙
Older pets Rock and have SO much love to give ❤
@@johndough8219 Yes especially older pets. This "grumpy" senior cat is living the life in her golden years. And I agree wish more people would step in.
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.
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.
Aww. I am so sorry.
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!
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.
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.
My deepest condolences ❤️🐕💐❤️🐈⬛💐❤️
*I'm so sorry you lost your dad. God Bless You*
They know what's going on... animals are sooo smart...I'm sorry for Ur loss..
Sorry for your loss
I am so sorry for your loss. Cats really are something special. I am happy they were there to comfort your dad and you.
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.
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🐶🐱🐻🦊🐯
and yet, you probably eat meat...
Grumpy cat means they have bad owners who don’t know how to take care of them.
Most humans are animal abusers whether it’s knowingly or unknowingly.
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. Some are better at ajusting to only indoor life but it's not natural to them and if they lack diverse play routines inside, they get frustrated, thus grumpy. 🤷♀️
Jaguar. . . , Cats -- they're not animals, they are cat-people
Do you love humans?
"growling is just her love language"
honestly, same.
U sure this iant bakugo
Love this comment! :)
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.
“She’s quite upset. She doesn’t like people today.”
Never knew I could relate to a cat so much
Angela has so much positivity when she talks to the cat
ikr !! so wholesome :)
also love the omni flag in your display pic
Yea, love it. What creature would ever respond grumpily to that!!? Lol
And the cat has so much negativity
For real!
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.
You’re right, cos cats only meow at humans to communicate, not each other
her meows and growls could actually be seen that way! how cats meow at people compared to other cats is very different in tone, so mackenzie could be a real intelligent girl :)
Yes, I was wondering if she was adopted very young and never spent time around other cats, maybe she just thinks that's what they do.
"Growling is her love language. Mackenzie loves to be loved, but doesn't want you to know."
A Tsundere
It looks like this cat treats everyday as Monday
“Loves to be loved, but doesnt want you to know”
A tsundere, then. 🤣
All the weebs like us in the comments have commented the same ducking thing😂
i was waiting to see this comment lol
Thank you, I learned a new word today!
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.
I got to say kudos to the amazing young woman who loves her cat greatly
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.
Preach👏🏼💙.
Not a grumpy cat, an adventure cat! Sweet kitty! Bless you for adopting her.
Cats -- they're not animals, they are cat-people
Not every cat wants to be a house kitty
My cat is a growler too. And those little huffs through the nose is her warning she's irritated with me lol.
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.
Then you would like our cat Elliot he is a very loving cuddly cat when he wants to be and a fiesty cat when he does not want to be patted and he has mega attitude or cattatude as we call it
That is amazing that she’s doing all this at 15 years old. You guys are a precious pair!🍐
I had a cat like that. Especially when you would talk to her. She was sweet
I'm sure she was n who knows...we might hold them again...
Ok
Yes, I have seen that just talking to an angry cat can turn them into a hugger.
So glad you kept her and gave your grandfather peace.
Love Mackenzie’s spicy attitude! Glad she is thriving in her new space! Lucky her that she gets to go out and explore.
"Mackenzie loves to be loved, but doesn't want you to know"
Yep, definitely a tsundere cat

Oh, I'm sorry ... I hope you have a blessed day with your dog !
Hello how are you doing?
My condolences marian
❤️🙏🏾❤️
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.
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
He looks adorable 🥰❤️🐈⬛
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.
Your cat sounds just like my cat she's extremely sassy and fiesty but at the same time well behaved cat super intelligent cat, I was able to teach her command and she didn't stop at 1 she learned 3 commands in such a short time. And always remember playing with your CAT is the KEY to their HEART ❤️
@@shraddhachauhan8281 your cat sounds like so much fun but loving and adorable. I love all kitties! 😽
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!
Angela, you are a an internet sensation! Everybody loves this story and you.
This is what life and loving is about.
So kind of you to adopt your grandparent’s beloved pet cat. Most people would have put her in animal shelter. God bless you!
Most? Noone in my family would.
Cats -- they're not animals, they are cat-people
@@tdbhmusic my family would not either.
@@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.
@@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.
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.
Something about Angela's voice and way of speaking is so reassuring. No wonder grumpy Mackenzie trusts her :D
Finally, a cat that looks and acts like mine in the media instead of those perfect cuddly cats Hollywood keeps pushing down our throats
Grumpy cats need representation too! GCLM
Everyone has had a brat cat but loves them anyways😊
Cat: go mind your own business. Leave me and my onion alone
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
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.
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.
@@tdbhmusic yeah, I looked at several rescues and shelters in my metro area. Is your comment based on ANY actual research??
@@tdbhmusic and you think a shelter is going to spend hundreds of $$ on a senior dog or cat?
I think she was mad that the grandpa who took care of her for good 15 years died. Like “whY diD yoU LeAve mE nYA?!” The granddaughter is filling that empty hole full and well. Bless them.
Oh my goodness! Going outside was the thing she needed. How wonderful to see her change and love her adventures. ♥️
Mack's walking jackets are so cute!
Yes, that's all she was missing in her former life. She is a fashion queen and just needs to strut her stuff for attention. She is so lucky Angela recognized this.😉
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
Mackenzie: *has an onion*
Everyone: ONIONS
Mackenzie: Do not question my desires.
What an amazing granddaughter! Mackenzie is so lucky to have such a wonderful extended family. And, of course, they are lucky to have her.
I imagine they were really worried about McKenzie, since she is such a grouch. She was very lucky.
She sounds like a broken Motorcycle. She's adorable ❤️❤️
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
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.
Grumpy cats are still great cats that should have love no matter what happens.
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. 💙
Mackenzie is the definition of tough love
That cat doesn’t look 15 years old?!?
Crazy 🤯
That cat needed to get outside, the attitude change was instantaneous. Good Lick with her and God Bless 👍🏻🙏🏻❤️
“Why do you have an onion?”
Mackenzie: “my goals are beyond your understanding”
I'm loving her in that coat. Runway worthy!😍
Her: i love you
Mackenzie: Arrrwwwrrrllraarr
Special lady, gave a grumpy cat a marvelous life 😻
What a lovely girl. When I am old, I'd hope to blessed with a granddaughter like her.
This girl Angela is probably gonna be such a loving sweetest wife and such a caring sensitive mother!😊
Bless her and the kitty!🐈🐈🐈❤❤❤
But she is a mother.
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’ve tried but my cars are too prissy to go further than the porch
both my cat scarred of anything outside their territory (my home). i take em out for a walk, all they do is hide under car seat. dont want to go out at all.
@@speedytypermananswers5551 it's common knowledge you don't take out your cat without a leash or at least it should be...
@@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.
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.
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. 🥰🥰🥰
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.
Impressed how youthful she is at 15!
She needs to write a children's book about Mackenzie and her adventures
This is the best idea I’ve ever heard
I love this idea!!!
