My daughter and family visited Tuesday finally! My granddaughter was very happy to get "Grumpy" cat and has been calling her Muffin for right now. She is not sure if this name will stick, but that is the current name she is leaning to. I wanted to let everyone know since several of you have asked me! She had a hard time picking up Grumpy, since Grump isn't used to her. My grandson scared her and after that it was hiss, hiss, HISS! She was finally able to get her and put her in a small kennel for the trip home later. Grumpy. excuse me, Muffin is now being spoiled like a princess. My daughter has gotten some antibiotic drops for her eyes to make sure that infection does not come back. She also got her a litter box because this will be an indoor kitty from now on. Muffin is eating well and enjoying her domain on my daughter's bed. Photo Credit: My Own, Grumpy is on the left

Cute kittens. Grumpy doesn't look irritated. My sister saw two small kittens in our house. They were hungry and weak. She fed them and thereafter they lived in our house. Now they are grown up cats. We now don't see them in the daytime. In evening they turn up and after being fed leave again to somewhere else.

I am glad he has a new name, he has such a sweet little face, not at all grumpy.

Yes, her demeanor changed, as well as expressions as she got older.

I used to have an orange tabby named Muffin when we first got married. He just showed up at our house and decided to stay!

@kareng In that case Muffin should be called Muffin Junior or Muffin II.

I am sure that she will settle in quite quickly. Especially if treats are involved!

Sounds like the kitty has made an effortless transition to being a house cat, lol.

Yep, I don't know how she came up with that one! I think of Muffin going with a yellow or orange kitty!
