When her future owner, Mike Bridavsky, saw her for the first time, he picked her up and said, "Hey, boy!" Lil Bub suffered from both polydactyly and genetic feline dwarfism , which explained the expression on her face. Due to a shortened lower jaw and her toothlessness, her tongue was permanently exposed, but this did not affect her appetite.
