La gata más famosa de Internet que tenía más de 2 millones de seguidores en Instagram murió, Lil Bub fue afectada por una infección ósea a la edad de ocho años.

Así lo detalló su dueño por medio de las redes sociales: “el domingo 1 de diciembre perdimos la fuerza más pura, amable y mágica de nuestro planeta. Bub estaba alegre y repleta de amor, acostada en nuestra cama con nosotros el sábado por la noche”.

El felino es recordado por salir en diferentes publicidades, además por su enanismo, los ojos saltones y la falta de dientes, a eso se le suma que siempre estaba con la lengua fuera debido a mutaciones físicas.

Pero nada de eso le impidió ser una de las gatas más famosas, fue protagonista de Lil Bub & Friendz, un documental que ganó el Premio al Mejor Largometraje del Festival Online. Incluso, le despertó la pasión a un grupo de jóvenes científicos para descubrir su genoma.

This is my first photo with BUB next our last photo together. 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 o
