I don’t know, that cat looks rather dignified, to me. With his fur the way it is, it looks almost like a lion’s mane.
I heard a story once of a family whose dog had a litter of puppies on them, and they were trying to get rid of them. They ran an ad in the paper for two weeks “Eight beautiful puppies, free to a good home”, but had no takers. Then they changed the ad to “Seven beautiful and one very ugly puppy, free to a good home”. Within two days, they had adopted out the ugly one eight times.
We had a similiar thing happen with a moma manx cat that showed up at our place bursting with kittens. Very shortly we had 8 or so baby manx cats.
Several weeks of free! manx cats, narry a call. Changed the ad to “rare manx kittens, 100 dollars (or more in todays money) each”.
damn phone rang off the hook.
Once we were fairly sure the people taking the cats would be responsible owners, we just gave em to them.
Never give away crap when you can sell gold 
Aw, he’s a cutie.
He kinda looks like the cat in the Bloom County comic strip.
I want him! I think he’s alien cute.
Does he know Ellwood?
“A widespread investigation of funeral homes, morgues, and hospitals has concluded that the unburied dead have been returning to life and seeking human victims. It’s hard for us here to be reporting this to you, but it does seem to be a fact.”
“If I were king of the forrrest…”
Even an ugly kitteh is cuddly. Cuz hey – kitteh!
Heh. They actually should make stuffed cats that look like that.
I would so buy one!
That is an odd looking cat.
With animals, it’s so hard to classify one as truly ugly. Even that cat is ‘so ugly it’s cute’.
The only thing I’ve ever found that’ll make me think an animal is ugly is its personality - it could be the most gorgeous looking critter in the world, but if it’s vicious I’ll remain firmly convinced that it’s dreadful. Case in point, my grandmother’s cat - glorious long, smoke-coloured fur, but the temperament of a demon. Every time I looked at it, I saw an ugly cat - but on a purely superficial level, she was quite lovely.
Ack , thats a zombie dog

I’m of the aaawwwwww kyoot! persuasion. Never saw an ugly kitteh. I don’t believe in them.
I wasn’t sure there were ugly doggies either. But Sam has shown me the light.
He looks like the Crypt Keeper’s favorite lapdog.
He looks like an old grand dame fallen on hard times, still wearing the moth-eaten fur coat from her glory days.
So it’s not just me, eh? This is going to sound dumb, but I’d convinced myself that what I grew up knowing as “Persians” were just long haired cats, and that I’d been wrong about what a Persian looked like, since Persians have pug faces! But no, they WERE Persians, but “Persian” has changed. Huh. Interestink…
That is the perfect description!
