@Paw_Nation: Hey Bub! We're honored that you and your dude pawed up to your computer to talk to us. How are you doing today?
-
@IAMLILBUB: tnCKsX Mm dxNg prtchTy fFn. Scchh. pthhtt.
@IAMLILBUB: Oh hey, sorry. It's me, BUB. My dude was in the bathroom and I had to type it out myself. He's back now, obviously. We are well.
@Paw_Nation: No worries, we get it, #catproblems. Glad that you are here and situated. **Wavy Paws**
-
@Paw_Nation: So 1st Question! We're curious, how did you get your adorable, but unique name?
-
@IAMLILBUB: My dude and his friend called each other "Bub." So when she and my dude came to meet me, he just called me BUB and that was it.
@Paw_Nation: So sweet and simple! We love it!

@Paw_Nation: Okay, tough question; besides yourself, who do you think is one of the cutest pets on the Web right now?
-

@Paw_Nation: Folks love you because of your uniquely sweet look. What is it that makes you physically different than other kitties?
-
@IAMLILBUB: I have no teeth (never grew in). My lower jaw is really short. My tongue sticks out. My eyes are huge and amazing... (cont..)
-
@IAMLILBUB: ...I only weigh 4 pounds. My legs are super short. My body is super long I have extra toes on all 4 paws. I make funny sounds.
@Paw_Nation: ME-WOW that is quite the special concoction of cuteness! We are especially fans of your big eyes and proud tongue.

@Paw_Nation: Bored housecats everywhere want to know: What are your favorite ways to pass the time?
-
@IAMLILBUB: Good question. I like to snuggle up to inanimate objects. I also keep my toes clean. And I send messages to my home planet.
@Paw_Nation: Those all sounds like lovely cat-tivities. Though we hope you don't beam up to the home planet anytime soon.
-
@IAMLILBUB: No need to worry. My home planet doesn't have nearly as many fishes. Or bearded dudes. I'm not going anywhere.
-
@Paw_Nation: Do you share your cat pad with other animals? Or are you an only kitty child?
-
@IAMLILBUB: I live alone. But I get visitors. Usually dogs. My friend Sammy lived with us for a few weeks: http://youtu.be/ypuW-8HxPsQ
@Paw_Nation: You've got some Kung-Fu moves

@Paw_Nation: So, what would you say is the Lil Bub philosophy on life?
-
@IAMLILBUB: Who cares what anyone else thinks. Everyone's a little different. I'm a lot different. And I love myself for it. So should you.
@IAMLILBUB: Oh and also, "I don't believe it, man. Life is kinda cool sometimes." -Mark Borchard
-
@Paw_Nation: AWW, paw-fives for that! So, what do you plan to do next with your newfound fame?
-
@IAMLILBUB: Whelp, I wanna make sure people understand how cool it is to adopt pets, and spay/neuter them. I also want to buy a waterpark.
@Paw_Nation: Well, we certainly approve of that! Adopt pets and a cat-friendly water park, how could you go wrong?!
-
@Paw_Nation: Now that you are kind of a guru, do you have any advice for other cats seeking fame online?
-
@IAMLILBUB: It's gotta happen naturally I guess! I never wanted it or tried... it just happened so i've been going with it.
-
@IAMLILBUB: The weirdest thing about being a famous cat is when it stops being weird.
@Paw_Nation: You are one laid back cat, and we like it.

@Paw_Nation: Next question! If you could have any celeb follow you on twitter who would it be and why?
-
@IAMLILBUB: Anyone from Parks and Rec. Especially Amy, Nick Offerman, @azizansari or @iamrashidajones. I should be the new Pawnee Mascot.
@Paw_Nation: Awesome, you would be a great "mas-cat."
-
@Paw_Nation: We know you just travelled to NYC. If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go next?
-
@IAMLILBUB: Hmmmmmm. Probably Egypt. I'm pretty sure my ancestors from my planet built those pyramids.
