Michael Denis has also booked a role on Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas.

Grumpy Cat – The infamous kitty, with the naturally, but endearing sad looking facial expression, will star in her very own live-action Christmas movie, “Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever,” premiering this coming holiday season on Lifetime. The movie is being filmed in Vancouver.

The Lifetime made-for-TV movie follows a “perpetually overlooked” cat living a lonely life inside a pet shop, until the feline is bought by a young girl that has a strange ability to communicate with her.

The network describes the movie as “a little Home Alone and a little Die Hard,” and will also feature cameos from other famous Internet memes.

The feline rose to internet fame after a photo of her seemingly miffed expression was posted by the owner’s brother on Reddit two years ago.

The cat’s popularity has spawned the book “The Grumpy Guide to Life,” a Grumppuccino coffee beverage and multiple charity and TV appearances. Grumpy Cat was featured in the rose ceremony on The Bachelor. She has numerous merchandising deals and is Friskies official ‘Spokescat.’
