Sauerkraut is one of the newest frowny felines to find fame following [Grumpy Cat’s meteoric rise to the top pet celebrity spot](http://www.people.com/people/videos/0,,20685516,00.html "undefined"). Like the almighty GC, Sauerkraut looks grumpy by nature, but is actually a big softie on the inside. The cross-looking cat currently resides at her forever home in Oklahoma, according to [her website](http://www.sauerkrautkitty.com/ "undefined"). Sauerkraut was originally taken in by her pet parents as a foster kitten from the[Central Oklahoma Humane Society](http://www.okhumane.org/ "undefined"). When she was old enough to be adopted, her foster family decided to keep her. Now the feline spends her days posing for photos and stealing snuggles from her friends and family. All the _meow_deling must be working, because Sauerkraut currently has more than 31,000 followers [on Instagram](https://instagram.com/thesauerkrautkitty/ "undefined"). Unlike many other kitties, Sauerkraut also enjoys wearing a varied wardrobe. All these clothes help the celeb pet deal with her feline hyperesthesia, a condition that involves an abnormal increase in the sensitivity to different stimuli. Revel in Sauerkraut’s grumpy glare, fabulous clothes and sweet demeanor by checking out the photos below. _This_ [_article_](http://www.peoplepets.com/people/pets/article/0,,20903020,00.html "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com/people/ "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/"},"headline":"Meet Grumpy Cat's Newest Competitor","datePublished":"2015-02-21T17:57:07.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:04.502Z","description":"Sauerkraut could be trouble","url":"https://time.com/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/","keywords":["Newsfeed","animals"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kelli Bender / People"}],"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/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/","name":"Meet Grumpy Cat's Newest Competitor"}}]},{"@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/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3717683/grumpy-cat-sauerkraut/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
