At first glance, it looks a lot like "Gollum C. ovata 'Gollum' ", but with two tubular tips at the end of each leaf, giving them the appearance of a pig’s nose—or maybe more like the paw of a beckoning cat, its shape is truly something unique even among oddball Crassulas. You can’t help but wonder how leaves with “two tubes” like this come about; maybe what happened is that each pair of leaves somehow fused together. This plant likely originates from China, where its original name may be 「招财猫 zhāo cái māo Zhao Cai Mao」, meaning “Lucky Cat.” Some websites list both names together, so it seems safe to consider this plant a “Gollum variation.”
