World Ugliest Cat

While every breed of cat may turn out an ugly kitten once in awhile, many people would say that the world's ugliest cat is undoubtedly the Sphinx kitten.

The Sphinx, or Sphynx, is an unusual breed of cat that is generally hypoallergenic. This is because it is a breed of cat that literally has no hair. With large ears and no fur to soften the angles of its face and body, the Sphinx takes some getting used to.

It is an intelligent and loving creature, but Sphinx kittens can be so ugly that they are unrecognizable as felines. Some people, looking at a newborn kitten with its eyes still closed would have difficulty in determining what they were actually looking at. The kittens have a myriad of rolls and ripples similar to a Shar Pei puppy but even more extensive. As they grow and fill out they begin to be more recognizable as felines.

There are a few websites that have pictures of these kittens as well as the adult cats.

• Ugliest Cats has some pictures of Sphinx kittens that will help you see why they should win the award for the ugliest cat.

• Seymour Sphynx Cattery has pages of pictures of the Sphinx cat. The pictures are wonderful examples of the breed.

While the Sphinx may have the tendency to be the ugliest breed of cat in the world, and is certainly the ugliest kitten, there are other breeds that might deserve the title as well.

Depending on your definition of ugly the Munchkin, with its oddly short legs, could be considered ugly by some people. The legs of this unique breed are mere inches long, giving the cat a low to the ground silhouette similar to a dachshund.

Another odd looking breed is the Scottish Fold Cat. These felines have ears that are close to their heads. This gives them a comical, almost angry appearance.
