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.
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.
