Pop this sucker onto your wide-screen and voila! you've got your very own toasty fire and confused magical space cat to keep you warm and cozy in your home, at your office, at your family's Christmas dinner, or any of your eight Hanukkah breakfasts.Lil BUBs Last ThanksgivingLil BUB2022-11-24 | My friends and I made this Thanksgiving video with BUB in 2019, and it was the last video I ever made with her - she passed away only a few weeks later, and the pandemic took over the world a few months after that.
I don’t think I’ve watched it since I posted it three years ago, and watching it today really made me realize how a pre-pandemic life with BUB and a post-pandemic life without her feel like two very different worlds, but it also reminded me of the things I’m so thankful for - our friends, our family, our pets, and everyone that still keeps BUB’s memory alive.
BUB! You were a fantastic cat - the essence of all that is truly good squeezed into a tiny little body. I am beyond thankful that something as pure as you existed in this world, and that I had the great fortune of having you in my life.BUB got you a bag of Marbles, from space.Lil BUB2022-11-23 | Hello. It's been a while. I'm not sure if I've even introduced the Magnificent Mister Marbles on here yet. Either way, he's BUB's space brother and you can learn everything you need to know about him from this video. Thanks for watching, and Happy Thanksgiving.Meet Mister MarblesLil BUB2022-02-03 | After 2 years in space, BUB finally felt that her protege, Mister Marbles was ready. He materialized at the Bloomington Animal Shelter in December of 2021, and they called us as soon as he arrived. He is clearly from BUB's planet (from a different continent), and has copious amounts of powerful magic than can be felt lightyears away. He is made up of equal parts Confusion, Curiosity, and Confidence.
Shortly after BUB passed away in December of 2019, we started planning a Memorial Event in our town of Bloomington, IN. The 800 seat venue sold out within days, and people were flying in from all over the country with guest appearances from Steve Albini, David Yow, Blasko, Aesop Rock, and more. For this event, Aesop Rock prepared a beautiful rhyme in her honor. Unfortunately nobody ever got to hear it because the event was cancelled literally the day before due to the first lockdown restrictions that were enforced due to the pandemic. Now, a year and some months later, Aesop's rhyme can finally be heard in this exclusive video, showcasing Lil BUB's New Commemorative Book, accompanied by one of BUB's original extra-terrestrial compositions.
Lil BUB: The Earth Years is a limited edition commemorative book celebrating the life and legacy of Lil BUB.

BUB was the Tiger Queen.Petting Lil BUB ForeverLil BUB2019-12-10 | Eternal bliss for BUB.Farewell Lil BUB: In Loving Memory of the Most Amazing Cat On the PlanetLil BUB2019-12-03 | On the morning of Sunday, December 1st 2019 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. Even knowing this, we weren't expecting her to pass so soon or so abruptly without warning. I truly believe that she willingly made the decision to leave her failing body so that our family would not have to make that difficult decision ourselves.
It is impossible to put into words the profound effect that BUB has had on my life, on the lives of thousands of homeless pets, and on the lives of those of you that have cared for her as if she were your own family. She taught me everything that I know about unconditional love, she brought my wife Stacy and I together, she's the reason we have our beautiful children Rosco and Lula, and she has been a constant source of warmth and love in our lives for the past 8 years. To say that our family is devastated would be an understatement.
But most importantly, BUB has made a huge difference in the world of animal welfare, and in the lives of millions of people worldwide. She has literally saved thousands of lives (both pets and humans), she started the first national fund for special needs pets, she was the subject of groundbreaking genetic and biological research, she's helped raise over $700,000 for animals in need, and has spread a message of determination, positivity, and perseverance to people all over the world. And even though my heart is absolutely crushed by her graceful departure from planet Earth, I know that her sprit, magic, and overwhelming energy are still with us, reminding us every day to be better.
Dearest BUB, I will never forget your generosity, your limitless supply of love, or your uncanny ability to bring so much magic and joy to the world. I am forever honored and humbled that you chose me as your caretaker. Please visit all of us in our dreams often. GOOD JOB BUB.Lil BUBs Thanksgiving Feast!Lil BUB2019-11-28 | Happy Thanksgiving!

For people wondering about her cheek - she has a bone infection that she has been battling for over two years. The growth is a bony mass and will never go away. It does not cause her any pain. She has been on and off antibiotics to treat the infection, but it is very persistent. She is now on long term antibiotic treatment. For the time being she is perfectly healthy and happy as you can see from the video. thanks everyone for your concern, but she is in the best hands.Lil BUB Thinks You Should AdoptLil BUB2019-09-30 | http://www.lilbub.com/about http://www.lilbub.com/storeLil BUB Bathed by Her Lil Sister.Lil BUB2019-09-15 | BUB requires bi-monthly baths.

Our thoughts are with her family and all of her loving fans.

Lots of folks are inquiring about BUB's jaw situation, so here's a small update. Since starting her new antibiotic 8 weeks ago, there has been no noticeable growth in her jaw, which is amazing news! There is a good chance that this means the antibiotic is working. Her vet took another blood sample and will let us know if the signs of an infection have diminished in the next couple weeks.
Please understand that if/when the infection has been fully treated, her jaw will not reduce in size. The infection has caused permanent bone growth in her jaw. This has no effect on BUB's health, comfort, or well-being - it just means that she looks even more amazing than before.The BUB CLUB!Lil BUB2018-10-31 | Today is your last chance to sign up for the very first BUB CLUB Box at http://www.lilbub.com/bubclub
