The Internet's most famous and most bitter fur-ball is finally coming to the small screen this holiday season on Lifetime. "Grumpy Cat's Worse Christmas Ever" is set to air Thanksgiving weekend on November 29 giving the network "fun and irreverence" according to Lifetime executive Arturo Interian. Now, on to the bigger question, Grumpy Cat's a girl? Most of the cat’s fans mistook her for a male cat, us included, and for some the news might be irrelevant but for others it came as a total shock.

After this, we learned funny Latina Aubrey Plaza would be voicing the character and let’s just say opinions were divided; some thought it would be even funnier and more ironic but others expected the cat to be more of an old, bitter man. The movie trailer shows jokes where Grumpy Cat is aware of the ridiculous reality saying, “oh, right, it’s a Lifetime movie,” but still we remain to be fully convinced by her performance.

Although it sounds a little too familiar, the original idea had potential: a character who hates Christmas and a little girl in need of company. Unfortunately the snippet we saw didn’t really get us hooked, and neither did Plaza’s voice over, which sounds like she’s reading the script from bed, speaking the way she speaks on a regular day. We think the following actors should have been the voice behind the cat. Which of these three would you have picked?
