Lil BUB – 10 Things You Don’t Know About Me
1. The correct spelling of my name is Lil BUB, which is short for Lillian Bubbles.
2. I once interviewed First Lady Michelle Obama for my Big Show!
3. My favorite foods are tuna and yogurt.
4. All proceeds of my CatConLA Meet & Greets go toward my Big FUND at the ASPCA and FixNation. Since 2012, we raised over $400,000 to help special needs pets.
5. Shortly after turning one year old, I was diagnosed with an exceptionally rare bone condition called osteopetrosis. I am the only cat in recorded history to have been born with this disease, which has made it very difficult to treat. But thanks to a device called the Assisi Loop, which uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy, I can now run and jump like never before – take a look!
6. My best friend is Norbert the dog. We wrote a book together!
7. My debut album, SCIENCE & MAGIC: A SOUNDTRACK TO THE UNIVERSE debuted last year, but it’s not the first time I’ve been in the studio. I also produced a song for Kelley Deal of The Breeders, and wrote a song with Andrew W.K.
8. My Dude Mike is my favorite person! (Though Lil Dude is a close second).
9. The found footage video of me at 8 weeks old has more than 4.3 million Likes on YouTube!
10. I am introducing CatVideoFest at the Theatre at Ace Hotel Saturday June 25 after CatConLA. It was produced by Will Braden, the creator of “Henri, le Chat Noir”, and will be hosted by Will and comedian Andy Milonakis. Will you be there?
