Whose cat is the most aesthetically challenged?

[thecatneuterer]

I know all cats are beautiful in their own way, but nonetheless some hide their beauty better than others.

This is my Ainsley. The photo doesn't give you the full effect as it doesn't show his thin ratty tail, but you get the idea anyway. And if you think he looks rough now you should have seen him when I picked him up - half the weight he is now (not an exaggeration); so matted the mats had formed overlapping scales on his back like a triceratops; and drooling from bad teeth.

Does anyone have an uglier cat?

Awwww these are brilliant! Loving these aesthetically challenged, gorgeous kittens!

I have three very attractive cats; and then there's Lenny.
He's just a bit scruffy and nowhere near as good at putting on an appealing face as the others. Not a complete uggo he can't compete with Persians but he lets the side down here

Ainsley is wonderful btw

@Grumpyoldpersonwithcats
I love his ear hair! Such an old man look

I just wish I had your life @thecatneuterer

Ugly cats (and grumpy looking cats) are my favourite.

@FelicityBeedle
An old man look and he isn't quite four yet...
Says it all .

Bald cats are like marmite

@Jadecarrot
I think you've provided competition for Toddler

I'm sure Lenny has other admirable qualities, judging from your previous threads Grumpy. Nice to hear from you again, btw.

My grandad always said about Persians “they look like they were chasing a bus and the bus suddenly stopped but they didn’t”

@Jadecarrot the paws! They’re like mini hands!

@Jadecarrot
Do they get blackheads? I’ve seen so many videos of people squeezing Sphynx’s spots

I would love a sphynx cat. They are my dream breed. Dh doesn’t like them at all

Suck up boy with his one TOOF and looking scruffy can go from gorgeous to ugly in one photo!

I love this thread. All my cats are gorgeous but this thread has made me grin and wish I had an ugly cat!

They're all absolutely adorable but have made me laugh so much, brilliant thread OP.

These are brilliant - this is my offering from my middle one's cat. She likes to take awful photos of all the pets and send them to me

@Cashwhat that's really made me laugh. I'm sure she's a pretty cat in real life but that is just such a spectacularly bad photo.

Lol glad it made you laugh! He's very small, angry and handsome when not looking like a weirdo . He also likes pretending to be dead

I have a perfectly fine cat. I mean, she's a bit stumpy and her proportions are a little bit off but if you saw her you'd just see a fairly average black and white cat. Except she has the most prominent bumhole you've ever seen, and she is just SO PROUD of it 😂

Little Sebastian was found in a garage forecourt at about 4wks old. He weighed 300g. He had manky eyes, the tip of his right ear, the tip of his tail and a bit of his bum all went rotten, turned black and fell off. He had rancid wormy diarrhoea all down my husband's chest. I spent 2.5 days giving him iv fluids and meds every 2hrs. I almost lost my mind through lack of sleep but he made it!

@Callcat Well I think that requires a photo!

I won't post a photo...I couldn't bear her increased bumhole hubris if it was a complimented 😆

Bramble is not exactly ugly but she only has half a tail and it's always a bad hair day!. She is not a fan of being groomed so gets matts which have to be cut out and collected random leaves twigs and slugs in her fur
