Well Grumpy cat arrived today. (I had pre-ordered before Grumpy cat was on Q).

I bought if for my husband who is a cat fanatic, who has rescued many a cat, who lives and breathes cats! (We currently have 3 cats). And he collected Garfield cats in the past and also Top Cats!

Well you had to see his face..lol.. (If I could post a pic I would but for privacy I wont). He read the little "mean saying" signs that came with it that you hook to the collar (and the little t-shirt has a saying too). He was cracking up laughing SO much he started coughing, and his eyes lit up like a kid.

My grandkids were here too, and they took a pic of my husband holding the Grumpy cat. We were all laughing hysterically @ the picture with the look on DHs face.

Well Grumpy is ONE COOL CAT and also those funny sayings make everyone smile like a kid I guess?

PS our 3 cats wanted nothing to do with Grumpy. One took one look and ran (lol).

I'm glad it made your husband happy. I have a Grumpy Cat calendar and it makes me laugh every day. You may want to think about getting him one of those too. I bought it in a book store but they are sold at Amazon.com. Before you know it you'll have a house full of Grumpy Cat lol! No I just have the calendar... but do think Grumpy's the cutest little cat. I used to collect Garfield items too.

What a great story!! Your husband has great taste in cats and wives - so sweet that you recognized how much he would enjoy having his own Grumpy Cat. Thanks for sharing

Thanks for a good laugh! I could picture the scene as you described it.

Most men (I've found) don't care for cats. I always say they just haven't met the right one.

Your DH must be a special man.
