Cuddle Barn - Lil BUB | Soft Adorable Kitten Stuffed Animal Plush Toy, 10 inches

Finally, I have my very own Lil' Bub to hug! This is a dream come true for me! My brother showed me Lil' Bub's videos on YouTube, and I was immediately captivated by the sweetness and uniqueness of this special kitty, and my heart melted as I learned of her amazing story. I LOVE Lil' Bub! This awesome plush toy is an exact replica of the famous and adorable tiny cat from outer space that has captured the hearts of millions of animal lovers. I am a major cat lover, and an avid plushie collector as well; when I found out that a Lil' Bub plush toy actually existed, I just had to have my own. I couldn't be more pleased!She is the perfect size, and quite large -- about 16 inches long from muzzle to tail tip, and 8 inches high from ear to paw. She is in a cute sitting/crawling position. She has HUGE and very realistic vivid round green eyes, and my favourite feature is the little pink tongue that lolls out from her mouth. Her body is short, her legs are stubby, she has soft creamy-white paws and feet, and her little tail is floppy, just like the real Lil' Bub -- "purrfectly" accurate design! It's too cute! Her medium-length fluffy brown tabby fur pattern is spot-on accurate as well, and the material is so unbelievably soft and high-quality! She is lovely to pet -- I can't stop petting her and feeling her fur. She's also so cuddly and very squishy-soft!I've never heard of the "Cuddle Barn" company before, but this plush looks like it was made by "Hansa" (a renowned toy company well-known for their incredibly realistic animal plushies). Excellent craftsmanship and perfect attention to detail -- good job, Cuddle Barn! This Lil' Bub plushie looks and feels like a real cat!Indeed, as other reviewers mentioned, the Lil' Bub plush is so realistic that she will likely startle your own cat(s)! My cat, Eddie, was freaked out by this plush too; he stared at it, wide-eyed, in complete shock for a few moments, and then he even reached out his paw and batted at it, with his claws extended, to see if it would react! I was worried that he would attack it -- I'll definitely be keeping my Lil' Bub in a safe place away from my three cats! They tend to get jealous. :)This purchase was definitely worth it -- not just because this is an awesome and adorable high-quality plush replica of the sweetest little extraterrestrial cat in the Universe, but also because a portion of the proceeds will go to the Best Friends Animal Society. That is definitely a great bonus.I highly recommend this superb plushie to all fans of Lil' Bub, and cat lovers of all ages. Cats RULE! =^_^=

Once upon a time, I used to love pets. Especially cats. But being the proud owner of an exceptionally spiteful kitty who has spent the last, oh I don't know, nearly two years punishing us for subjecting him to the dietary limitations necessary to keep his furry, diabetic hide alive and healthy, I'm totally ruined on pets. The formerly pet loving side of my heart is a cold, blackened, shriveled wasteland. But almost, just almost, Lil Bub could sprout a flower or two there and get me to find cats cute again. Almost.So my daughter's best friend sent her a text with a picture of this feline, and I asked my daughter about it, and she told me this cat was famous. So I looked up said cat, and it occurred to me as I was staring at several pictures of her exceptional cuteness, Wow, I bet there have got to be toys out there of this kitty, and we need a birthday present for said best friend, and I'm sure Amazon must have something...and here we are. And, then I ordered one for my daughter too, because darn it. She's even cuter then Lil Bub and I just imagined her turning her Beenie Boo eyes on me, and there we go. So we received two of these things, both from different vendors.Both kitties arrived in meticulous condition. The fur on these is not exceptionally soft, but this is a stuffed animal that has taken considerable pains to look more realistic (except these stuffed kitties don't include Lil Bub's extra toes), they even darkened the outer edges of the nose. The seams are solidly done so far as I can tell. My daughter absolutely loves hers, she didn't have any issue with the softness of the fur. She says it's really, really cute and feels it's totally soft enough. And despite the fact that the animal loving part of my heart is a blackened husk, I actually like that Lil Bub supports animal adoption causes, as opposed to Grumpy Cat, who's basically as far as I can tell an owner-funding cash cow that says "meow." So I actually feel happier about buying my daughter and her buddy Lil Bub items. I also felt the price point was very, very reasonable for the quality of these stuffed animals, so in our house, we're rating these 5 stars for accurate cuteness, and high quality that is consistent between both kitty toys.Edit: And sometimes, it appears I need to be declawed also ;) In the interest of fairness I do want to say I don't know for sure that none of grumpy cat's profits go to good causes, I have just not seen any reference to it in Bios, etc on Grumpy Cat the way I have on Lil Bub. It's always quite possible her sour face hides a soft heart that would totally be ruined by admitting to philanthropic endeavors. But at this time, I am not aware of her profits supporting a cause the way Lil Bub's do, and I actually do like to support good causes, so that's something that matters to me as a consumer.

This beautiful plush completely exceeded my expectations! I am absolutely in love with the real Lil' Bub, and when I found this plush version, I was quick to order. I had never heard of the brand "Cuddle Barn", so I didn't know what to expect, but I wanted a Lil' Bub plush, even if it wasn't the highest quality. What a surprise this beautiful kitty was!! :)Firstly, this plush looks just like the real Lil' Bub!!! The likeness is *so* good! From her BIG green eyes, to her little protruding tongue, to her short little legs, every detail is true to the one-and-only, wonderful Lil' Bub! :)Secondly, this plush is *soft*!!! SO plushy, soft, pettable, and cuddly! As soft and high quality (maybe more so!!!) than any Gund animal I have ever owned!:)Thirdly, "in keeping with Lil' Bub's charitable efforts, Cuddle Barn will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends Animal Society is the only national nonprofit animal welfare organization focused exclusively on ending the killing of dogs and cats in America's shelters." :)(Source: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/feline-sensation-lil-bub-is-ready-to-cuddle-up-with-her-fans-242757911.html)This is, paws-down, my favorite plushie that I own! If you love Lil' Bub, you will love owning this purrfect plush version. ;) :)

Story time, I was at a hobby lobby and my daughter being 5 months at the time saw the cat from across the store and began meowing for it. So I’ve had this as a gift idea since and got it several months later. Its soft and stitching holds up as her toddler self rags it. 5/5
