Paige Leskin. I've owned seven cats in my life and I've known hundreds. I don't know a single cat who would be okay with the things that Bub likes to do. Taking a picture of any of my other cats is a nightmare. Obviously, it might sound hypocritical for me to say "don't make your pet famous" when I had one of the most famous cats in the world.
But I didn't try to do this. I think trying to make your pet famous is forcing them to do something that they were not designed to genetically or biologically.
But with Bub, I could always get the exact photo I need. She knew what she was doing. She was always this way. She loved to travel. She knew when the camera was on. Her cuteness drew people in, but her legacy is so much more than that. If Bub can do it, so can you. Bub never ever would give up, even at the very end when she was really sick.
Every day, she'd run to her food dish, acting like nothing was wrong. Her spirit was so strong. Over the years, Bub and I really used her fame for good.
We raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity. Her feline dwarfism meant she stayed kitten-sized throughout her life. She was also polydactyl, with an extra toe on each paw, and had an underdeveloped jaw and no teeth which caused her tongue to always hang out. Mr Bridavsky originally adopted Lil Bub as the "runt" of a litter of kittens found by a friend inside a tool-shed in Indiana.
In an interview, he described her "one of nature's happiest accidents" and insisted she lived a happy, healthy life despite her various health issues.
He created a Tumblr blog for the cat in and she went viral after photographs of her ended up on the front page of discussion website Reddit. The attention led to news articles about her and invitations to appear on US television programmes. Lil Bub went on to gain endorsement deals, merchandise lines and even her own YouTube show and documentary series. Her owner used her fame to raise money for charity, including help for other cats with special needs through the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
Before her death, Lil Bub had been suffering from a bone infection which her owner had been sharing updates about to her 2. Mr Bridavsky announced on Monday that she had unexpectedly died in her sleep on Sunday morning.
This is my first photo with BUB next our last photo together. On the morning of Sunday, December 1st we lost the purest, kindest and most magical living force on our planet. BUB was cheerful and full of love laying in our bed with us Saturday night, but unexpectedly passed away peacefully in her sleep.. I have always been fully transparent about BUB's health, and it was no secret that she was battling a persistent and aggressive bone infection.
