The account has since been restored to its rightful owner, Mike Bridavsky, but not before the alleged teen hacker posted expletive-filled videos and live streams to the account's 1.7 million followers.

It's not clear what happened to the account, but its avatar and bio were changed as the account began posting selfies demanding things like "if u want ur ig back call me daddy."

"It was hacked by a teen, we have control again," Bridavsky wrote in an email.

Lil Bub has long been one of the most popular cats on Instagram, thanks to her uniquely adorable face. Bridavsky, the cat's owner, has turned her pet's vast social media following into a force for good to raise money for organization helping animals in need.

Needless to say, Lil Bub's legions of followers were not happy about seeing their favorite Internet cat's Instagram filled with trolling posts.
