    @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!

    @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.

    @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.
