The museum just announced that the famous feline will be immortalized in wax at its San Francisco location, _Business Wire_ [reports](http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20150826006050/en/Internet-Sensation-Grumpy-Cat-Happy-Named-Madame#.VeB42VPF%5F3%5F). In the clip below, you’ll see Grumpy Cat begrudgingly sit for the Madame Tussauds sculptors, who clearly want to make sure they get the wax figure just right. Grumpy Cat’s figure will be “an animatronic with five different movements” and will be unveiled at the San Francisco museum later this year. After a short stay there, the figure will then tour the remaining five locations around the country. Until then, keep an eye on the Madame Tussauds Instagram for updates: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/"},"headline":"Grumpy Cat's Getting a Wax Figure and Of Course She's Mad About It","datePublished":"2015-08-28T15:24:29.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:58.781Z","description":"It will debut at Madame Tussauds San Francisco later this year","url":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/","name":"Grumpy Cat's Getting a Wax Figure and Of Course She's Mad About It"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Inside New York's First Cat Cafe","description":"Meet the cats of NYC's first cat cafe, Meow Parlour, and hear more about the growing trend of paying to play with cats from the cafe's two owners.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/0MiiFeak/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2014-12-12T19:30:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/0MiiFeak.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4014642/grumpy-cat-wax-figure-madame-tussauds/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
