Lil Bub has gone to join Grumpy Cat. I'll admit, she was kind of cute, in an odd way. Apparently, she also helped to raise a lot of money for animal welfare causes.

Never heard of Lil Bub. Upon inspection, Lil Bub is spectacularly average. We need animals wit attitude.

Bummer.

We need more internet cats.
Grumpus and Bub did fine jobs, the both of them.

Thanks for the post/pic, ‘gunner. My little 3 legged (missing a back leg...my wife found her at a vacant house and adopted her) kitty would warm anybody’s heart.

With an attitude like that, I’d venture to guess that MORE people “give a damn” about that cat than they would you...

Poor little fuzzball. At least she died in her sleep.
