Not every kitty is a ball of cuddly fur, but even cute ugly cats can make for adorable feline friends
31 Ugly Cats That Are Still Super Cute
Moony
Moony has oversize eyes, giant ears and a wrinkly face and body. We just can’t get enough of this quirky kitty!
Dr. Danger
Just try to tell us this scruffy cat doesn’t have a world domination plot. As nefarious as his name, though, we’re pretty sure Dr. Danger is easily one of the most adorable animals out there.
Ears
This round-headed kitty has them, even if they’re not so obvious at first glance! We think the unusual silhouette makes this feline even cuter.
Adam
Equal parts handsome and freakish? Check! Adam is basically a miniature tiger roaming around the house, and we are here for it.
Bulldog
Because this cat is obviously a bulldog in disguise … You”ll have to try the “pspsps” cat-call noise on him and see if it works.
Wonder
We call her Wonder because that’s all you do when you look at this large feline—it’s hard not to wonder at her majesty.
007
Stealth mode, activated. This mysterious feline will be gone without a trace in no time.
Nosy
This cat has a distinctive nose and can’t stay out of everyone else’s business. And the cuddles? We’re sure they’re top-notch.
Alien
That’s actually this cat’s real name! This little guy may not be the most strikingly beautiful animal out there, but we still have heart-eye emojis for him.
The Cloverfield Monster
You know the one! This kitty appears full of mischief and silly expressions.
Gorgeous Fluffy
This large cat is an instant classic. How do we sign up for the snuggles? We’re guessing there’s probably already a long list ahead of us …
Ms. Carol
A super fly outfit outshines all! Ms. Carol has our hearts with those emotional eyes and delicate paws.
Taffy
This might just be the stretchiest cat we’ve ever laid eyes on, which makes for a pretty good chuckle. Peep the long arms and legs too!
Trouble
The inquisitive look this one’s giving the camera makes his name pretty self-explanatory. You’ve got to love these funny cat photos where they make serious eye contact.
8-Ball
Because that is just what this kitty’s head reminds us of.
Banshee
He’s saying AHHHH!!! But in an “I’m here for adventure” sort of way that means things are about to get exciting.
Good Golly Miss Molly
This is this feline’s real name! You can call her “good” for short. As odd looking as this cat may be, there’s no denying the adorableness coming from her cute little stature and inquisitive eyes.
Queen Marceline
She is the cat to which all other cats bow, and honestly, dogs too. And that muzzle is one for the books.
Anubis
You’ve woken him up from his 3,000-year slumber. He was still being worshipped by Egyptians when he entered.
Wolfgang
Named after his presumed owner, Mozart. Who may or may not have had unruly facial hair.
Gertie
If you thought by “ugly cats” we just meant we were going to show you a bunch of naked cats, you were correct.
Snowflake
Yes, she is unusual looking. But that is what makes her special. You can melt real snowflakes, but this Snowflake will melt your heart.
Celeste
She is not an ugly cat, just … so special looking that we could not leave her out. And there is something very unique about that narrow stare!
Gravedigger
She has a bone to pick with you! But once she takes care of that, we’re guessing she’ll be all purrs and mews.
Rupert
Who, me? This near-naked cat may not have conventional good looks, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an expensive cat breed worth coveting.
Pepe
This large boy can make a clover shape with his tongue! So talented.
Vengeance
Because that is what this guy will deliver for the atrocious affront of giving a cat a bath. Some crimes can never be forgiven.
Midnight
This cat lurks in the shadows in the dark of night. She’s sneaky and a bit moody-looking, but definitely one to curl up quietly and make you say “aww.”
Suzie Q
This cat looks like she took a shower then slept on her hair wet. She also has a very determined air about her!
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
We’re just begging for these cats to be put in a sweater, because they have to be freezing. Please. They’re begging for one too.
