Lil Bulb and Robert De Niro

She has her own clothing label, book, millions of followers on Facebook and Twitter, counts Hollywood stars as her friends and her debut film has just been shown at an acclaimed film festival.

And looking at these cute snaps of the star it's easy to see why.

Lil Bub the cat is the latest feline sensation sweeping the web and earning legions of fans across the globe.

Much-loved: The disabled cat has millions of followers on social media websites, her own blog and fashion label

But Lil Bub has become a worldwide internet hit despite her unusual look - she suffers a rare bone deformity which leaves her unable to close her mouth and her tongue almost constantly sticking out.

The tiny cat's disability also means she has no teeth, a deformity in her paws (= pattes), and six claws (= griffes).

Her rise to stardom began when owner Michael Bridavsky began taking pictures of Lil Bub with some of the music artists who came to record at his Indiana music studio.

The cat became an internet hit after her owner Michael Bridavsky began posting pictures on the blog of his recording studio

Michael would post the pictures of his unusual looking pet on the studio's blog for the amusement of his friends but soon began to be contacted by strangers wanting more.

The Cat has now amassed a staggering 125,000 fans on her Facebook page alone and has thousands of followers on Twitter and YouTube.

She has her own book, Lil Bub's Lil Book: The Extraordinary Life Of The Most Amazing Cat On The Planet, and was most recently photographed being held by Robert Di Niro at the Tribeca Film Festival where she starred in a documentary about the phenomenon of famous cats called Lil Bub and Friends.
