When Opal Met BUB

Lil BUB, the most famous cat on the planet, was in Tacoma this weekend for a cat show. They had a meet-and-greet with BUB, with all proceeds from the ticket sales going to her fund for Special Needs cats and kittens, so I invited my pal Opal to join me for this rare opportunity to meet this celebrity cat.

I think we were both a little starstruck by this cutie. She was so tiny, gentle, and sweet --- she happily received few pets from Opal, and posed patiently for photos.

It was so fun meeting you, Lil Bub. Thank you for the positive message you put out to the world and for all of the good work you do for the Special Needs cats! Thank you also to Mike, Lil BUB's dad, for sharing her with us on Sunday!

After we met BUB, we took a walk around the show and met many beautiful, strange and exotic cats.

These creatures were all pretty fascinating, but I would give the "Best of Show" prize to this sweet orange love -- a rescue kitty presented by The Community Cat Coalition.

  1. GOOD JOB BUB!

    But seriously, Mike has done an amazing job raising awareness. Bub was lucky to be found by him when she was a wee thing!

    I have admired Mike and his care for Lil Bub. They have done so much to help make a difference for other special needs kitties.

  6. OMG, is that Opal the human, not Opal the cat? She has grown so much since you first introduced her to us. A beautiful person, inside and out.

  8. I just love the annual Opal post! Was the big floofy ginger a ragdoll? because he looks just like my much loved and missed Morgan. He was a half ragdoll rescue cat we had back in the 90s until ha passed of old age in 2006.
