Development

Eisner's original pitch was a video short about "crazy cat people" at the first Internet Cat Video Film Festival.[8] Eisner contacted Lil Bub and Bridavsky because Vice worked with them on an earlier video.[8] Capper and Eisner knew that Lil Bub would be the star as soon as they met her.[7] [8] They decided to make a full-length film after seeing the turnout of 10,000 people at the festival in Minneapolis including travelers from New York City , China and Seattle .[5] [9] Filming took five months.[8]
During filming Lil Bub had a serious health episode but recovered.[6] [9] Bridavsky called it "a very scary week"[6] and Capper said "this is going to be the most depressing cat movie ever."[9]
