Munchkin

This adorable cat is truly unique in that is has very short little legs. These cats were first observed in the 1940s but then they disappeared after the war. They reappeared after two munchkin cats were found in the 1980s and they were bred. Despite their short legs these cats can do everything that normal cats can.

Cornish Rex

If you like the look of the Spinx but would rather have a cat with at least a little fur, then the Cornish Rex might be for you. This cat has short curly fur that really makes it unique among cats and they are popular among people who suffer from allergies because they lack the hair that is present on most cats. This is a relatively new breed of cats as they were created from the genetic mutation of a litter of cats in the 1950s.

The Sphinx

This strange cat is perhaps one of the most popular among strange cat breeds because this particular cat has made an appearance in a few movies as the pet of evil villains. The reason for that is pretty clear because this cat can definitely look evil if it wanted to. But if you want a cat that is so ugly it’s cute the Sphinx is for you.

Devon Rex

This cat looks very similar to the Cornish Rex but they have no genetic relation. They have soft down fur that is very curly. They are also known for their very large low-set ears and very large eyes. This unique cat is very adorable and is a far cry from the appearance of a regular short-haired cat. Another unique attribute about this cat is that they loved to sit perched on their owner’s shoulder just like parrot. They are also very playful and friendly cats.

BONUS

Ugliest Cat In The World

While these cats may look truly bizarre you can be sure that no breed can compare to the random abnormalities that can occur in certain litters. This is evidenced by the cat that has been affectionately dubbed the ugliest cat in the world.

Ugly Bat Boy lives in a Veterinarian’s office in Boston and is said to be a very affectionate cat for anyone that is willing to look past his rather…unique appearance.

Uhm… O… K… Like, none of these cats are “weird looking”. OK, I get it, American Curl and Scottish Fold have kinda funny ears, but Ocicats? Ocicats aren’t weird looking at all! Norwegian forest cats are some of the most common and generic looking cats there are. Yes, Manx and Munchkins are quite funny looking (in an adorable way). Rexes and sphinxes are surely special cats and some of my favorites! Anyway, about half of the cats on this list are very common (OK maybe not that common) and normal looking… But yeah, cute pictures either way! I think this was more an article on unique cat breeds rather than weird looking ones. Anyway, this was quite fascinating, I didn’t know that Cornish and Devon Rex weren’t related, I always thought they were! And I don’t understand people saying sphinxes are ugly, they’re gorgeous! /rant

Those are some weird freaking cats. The above poster must spend a lot of time on the traveling cat freak show circus circuit to think we’re dealing with normal cats.

Say “unique” one more fkn time… There are not degrees of uniqueness; something cannot be “very unique,” “quite unique,” or even “slightly unique.” Something is either unique or it is not.

Nice cats though. Never seen the munchkin before.

Bat Boy doesn’t look ugly, he looks kind of regal and commanding, as though he’s saying “you will do as I say; I am your king.”

Aww.. Bat Boy doesn't look ugly at all; to me he looks very beautiful. I'm a collector of cats (i'm just 13 yrs. old) and I really want to have Bat Boy. Sooo cute.
I have three Munchkins in my house.

Suggestion: send an example of the Sphinx to Italy to the man with all the hair on his face who looks like the Hollywood Wolfman (you may have spotted this man in the Guinness Book of World Records). Now a picture of the man and the cat together would be a study in contrasts!
