One of the internet’s favourite cats Lil Bub passed away on December 1 due to a persistent bone infection, said its owner Mike Bridavsky in a social media post. The cat was an internet sensation due to its unusual appearance.
The cat had huge eyes and had a kitten-sized body due to dwarfism. Lil Bub also had extra toes on both her front paws and had no teeth, which caused her tongue hand out all the time.
Bridavsky, who announced the cat’s demise with an Instagram post, said that though she was battling an aggressive bone infection, he didn’t expect her to die soon. He also described the cat as the “purest, kindest and most magical living force on our planet,”.
According to Global News, Bridavsky adopted the cat in 2011, soon after she was born. He then started sharing photos of her on various social media, which went viral. Lil Bub’s popularity landed her various YouTube shows and documentaries and was approached for endorsement deals. According to her Twitter bio, the cat raised over $500,000 for homeless pets.
Here’s how people reacted to Lil Bub’s death:
So heartbreakingly sad! But Bub was so fortunate that it was YOU, Mike, who found her, and I know you were lucky too! I can only imagine how difficult her loss is for you.
We will all miss hearing of her little adventures. She was always such a brave little girl. Love you, Bub 💔— Diana Marie (@Shiloh_2005) December 2, 2019
