The scarier the more fashionable - this statement is true for many things around us. One of these are scary cat breeds, the ever-growing popularity of which is surprising.
When we say scary cats, we don't mean those that are dangerous, but those that look unsightly, weird or ugly. What breeds are the scariest? What's unusual about them? Why do people choose such pets? Let's talk about this in our material.
Canadian Sphynx
The most terrible breed of cats with a wrinkled body, which from the outside appears completely bald and devoid of fur. Sphynxes are at the forefront of ratings of scary and ugly cats. They are often compared to aliens. A naked body is the first, but not the only sign of “abnormality.” Add to this a strange body structure, sweaty wrinkled skin, a saggy tummy, a long rat tail, overly large ears, and the picture comes together.
In fact, these cats have a barely noticeable thin layer of hair on their bodies, similar to peach fuzz. They are cute, affectionate and cheerful pets who are devoted to their owners. The habits of these pets resemble those of a dog. Cats are smart, playful, and easily learn various tricks.
Price
Kittens with a “Martian” appearance can be bought in Russia for 15,000 – 80,000 rubles; in Ukraine for 2700 – 9500 UAH.

These Photos Prove There's Something Demonic About Cats
Ecology
Cats idolize only themselves. At least that's what many of us think.
However, there are photographs taken by animal owners in which it seems that at least some cats know something about the other world, and in which something seems to have taken possession.
It may seem to you that your cat is just walking around the house or yard, but at this time she may well be performing some rituals. For what? Perhaps this is due to the desire to take over the world.
Here's some hard evidence that cats aren't as fluffy and cute as they might seem, and people might have a hard time:
Scary cats
1. Has the cat opened a portal to another dimension?
2. Demonic dance.
3. The look before you fall asleep.
Peterbald
Another representative of the cat family, which can hardly be called “handsome”. Rather, he looks scary. Pointed ears, a long narrow head, huge almond-shaped eyes, webbed feet, an angular, wrinkled, hairless body - this is a description of the Petersburg Sphynx breed, which is also called the Peterbald.
The world is full of fans of cats with an exterior of controversial beauty. Owners adore cats for their affection for people. Peterbalds are active, very smart, inquisitive cats. They are loving and peaceful. Get along with all family members and other pets.
What is the price
In Russian nurseries, naked folded kittens are offered for 18,000 - 60,000 rubles; in Ukraine – 6,000 – 16,000 UAH.

As a rule, cat lovers choose pets based on their external characteristics. It is impossible to pass by a beautiful and sweet cat that looks at you with an attractive gaze. But among the many cat lovers, there are also fans of unusual breeds, the representatives of which cannot be called cute and beautiful. We’ll tell you right now what breeds the scariest cats in the world belong to.
Ukrainian Levkoy
The rating of cats a la Frankenstein continues with another hairless cat. This experimental breed combines the incongruous: the floppy ears of the Scottish Fold and the hairless body of the Don Sphynx. Surprisingly, the work to create a cat with such an appearance was deliberate. This feline Frankenstein is not an accidental mistake of nature, but the work of human hands.
“Terrible on the face, kind on the inside” - this is about the Levkoy. They are active, loving, and constantly crave human attention. You won’t have time to sit down in your favorite chair, and your cat will already be curled up on your lap.
Price
In Russian nurseries - from 10,000 to 25,000 rubles; in Ukrainian – 2,500 – 5,500 UAH.

Fans of “bald folds” need to save their pets from the cold in winter and from open sunlight in summer.

Elf
A cat with such a name simply cannot have a familiar appearance. This strange breed is the result of crossing a Sphynx and an American Curl. Hairless, heavily wrinkled cats with large curved ears resemble characters from science fiction films. This is a cross between Dobby from the Harry Potter series and Master Yoda from Star Wars.
We must pay tribute to the owners of these unusual pets. They have to make sure that the cats do not get cold in the draft and do not burn in the heat. In addition, constantly sweating, sticky elves require regular skin care. And going out into the world with such pets is already a small feat.
What is the price
In Russia – 20,000 – 50,000 rubles; in Ukraine – 5,000 – 21,000 UAH.

If you want a pet that resembles an alien mummy, get an elf cat.
Devon rex
Hairless breeds took all the top positions in this ranking. Devon Rex is an exception! He has fur! A cat with a unique exterior resembles an alien. So he doesn’t look like the usual cute earthly cats. The thin body is covered with a suede curly fur coat. The awkward neck is completed by a tiny head with huge ears. And the expression of his elven face cannot be confused with anyone else.
In life, these pets are incredibly playful; cats occupy all the owner’s free time. As befits real space aliens, Devon Rexes are attracted by heights. Animals seek out and occupy the highest point in the room. It could also be the owner’s shoulders, if one is not found. Cats of this breed are extremely smart, easily learn commands, and perform tricks like a dog. The only command that Devons do not accept is “No!” when it comes to food.
What is the price
Kittens in Russia are offered for 25,000 – 75,000 rubles; in Ukraine – for 5,000 – 17,000 UAH.

These alien cats do not know moderation when it comes to food, often behave as if they have not eaten for a week, and do not disdain food from the human table.
Cornish Rex
The cats resemble sphinxes, but unlike them, the body of representatives of this breed, which continues the “scary cats” rating, is covered with undercoat. Agree that a little fur is better than a naked body. Even if this “astrakhan” fur looks like it was cut to pieces with dull children’s scissors. The picture is completed by long thin legs, huge ears and the complex character of a tomboy.
Cornish Rexes are considered obsessive pets. Not only do cats prevent their owners from taking a step, but they also accompany every step with a loud “Meow!” Animals are very talkative; they have their own sound for every action. Smart pets are better than other cat breeds in learning to walk on a harness, follow commands, and surprise with tricks.
Price
In Russia – 15,000 – 45,000 rubles; 4,000 – 16,000 UAH.

Popularity history
Wilfred gained popularity in Great Britain due to his unusual appearance. However, after the American comedian Michael Rapaport published a video of the cat on his page, the whole world learned about Wilfred.
The short video shows Wilfred sitting motionless on the street and looking intently out the window of a house where a cat is lying on the windowsill. Michael was frightened by Wilfred's big, unblinking eyes, doubted whether it was a real cat, and then said that the fluffy one "looked like grandma." The video became so popular that Wilfred's subscriber count began to increase significantly. However, the Instagram administration called this video offensive and blocked it.
Note that the cat named Wilfred was known to experienced Internet users before, so the unique animal has been a star for a long time, and it was not Rapaport who made him famous
There are a lot of memes made with Wilfred's face. However, his owner Jenna is not offended and even displays the best works on Wilfred’s Instagram.
Don Sphynx
Common people often confuse this breed with the Canadian Sphynx breed. They are similar, which is why both were included in our rating. The completely naked body is covered with wrinkled skin, because of this the expression of the muzzle looks like an old man. The bald, thin tail, curving like a wave, resembles a rat's. A smooth belly is compared to a pork belly. He's still a "freak"!
Yes, an ugly cat looks scary, but this is a deceptive impression. Don Sphynxes are friendly, inquisitive, intelligent pets. The animals get along well with people and other pets.
What is the price
In Russian nurseries - 15,000 - 40,000 rubles; in Ukraine – 3,500 – 30,000 UAH.

Want a pet that looks like an otherworldly creature? The Don Sphynx will make your dream come true.
Hairless breeds
Hairless breeds of cats, which are also called “lunar”, hinting at their unearthly origin, have won the love of many thanks to the magical attractiveness of their appearance and due to their inherent good nature, loyalty and devotion.
The Sphynx is a typical representative of hairless cat breeds
However, quite a few people characterize them as the ugliest cats.
The most common types of hairless cats are:
- Elf
- Don Sphynx
- Bambino
- Minskin - one of the Bambino variants
- Canadian Sphynx
- Sphinx subspecies: Brush, Brush-point, Flock
- Sphinx of Kohona
Sphinx: I laugh at your ratings!
Likoy
Another breed of scary cats is the Lykoi. You won't find any handsome guys among the representatives of this family! The cats live up to the name. Werewolf - this is how the name of this breed is translated. Pets look terrifying and shocking at first sight. The exterior of the Lykoi resembles an explosive mixture of a wolf, a bat and a yard cat. Black and gray fur of varying lengths looks sloppy due to bald spots all over the cat's body.
Despite its ugly appearance, the breed is expensive and popular. Lykoi are loyal pets that can defend their owner just as well as dogs. Cats are friendly, love to be the center of attention, and are easy to care for.
What is the price
In Russia – 30,000 – 80,000 rubles; in Ukraine – 26,000 – 60,000 UAH.
Author's comment
If you want people to ask: “What is your cat’s illness?”, get a Lykoya kitten. You will be able to proudly answer: “My cat is not sick, this is a new fashionable breed!”
Wilfred: not like everyone else
Wilfred Warrior, or Wilfred Warrior, is a Persian chinchilla cat. He lives in the capital of Great Britain - London. His owner Jenna Millward adores her pet and introduces him to the whole world through Instagram.
Wilfred has his own Instagram page: instagram.com/wilfredwarrior.
On one of the sites, the girl accidentally came across an advertisement with Wilfred, and from that time on, she only thought about this cat. The long distance did not become an obstacle to acquiring a faithful friend, and after a 12-hour trip, Jenna’s dream came true
Jenna never dreamed of having a pet, however, when she accidentally saw an advertisement for the sale of this cat, she could not resist the charm of the fluffy one. Millward traveled a long way to take Wilfred to his place. Today, the girl can no longer imagine life without her faithful friend.
Wilfred's unusual appearance
Wilfred has huge eyes and protruding teeth. The cat always looks confused and unhappy. But it was precisely this appearance that brought him enormous popularity around the world.
Most Persian Chinchilla cats look as if they are surprised or unhappy about something.
The oddities on his face are caused by a genetic mutation. Wilfred has been diagnosed with a slight deformation of the skull and an incorrect bite, which gets worse over the years. However, these shortcomings practically do not complicate the cat’s life. Otherwise, Wilfred is in excellent health.
When Wilfred was a kitten, the malocclusion was not very noticeable
Cat lifestyle
Although Wilfred looks sad, his life is far from boring and monotonous. The cat is very affectionate, easily finds a common language with people, loves to be in company. This is why Jenna often takes Wilfred with her to London pubs.
Jenna says that she started a personal page on Instagram for Wilfred to introduce the whole world to the cat’s unusual appearance, as well as his cheerful and friendly disposition.
Fluffy has a playful disposition and is not averse to taking a walk in someone else's yard or visiting a neighbor's house. Wilfred also enjoys taking a bath. However, the cat’s favorite pastime, according to Jenna, is watching birds, animals and people. Wilfred can sit by the window for hours and watch with an unblinking gaze what is happening around him.
At first, visitors to Jenna's favorite pub were frightened by the animal's appearance, but the pet's friendly behavior captivated the establishment's regulars and made the cat a local landmark.
Minskin
A strange breed of cats is not a mistake of nature, but the work of human hands. This is the fruit of crossing two breeds: Munchkin and Sphynx. The cats' hairless bodies, inherited from sphinxes, have fur points. Short paws, inherited from munchkins, are covered with fur. Because of this, cats resemble hobbits from fantasy works. From the outside, the animals may resemble an otter with a thin long tail.
Rare pets with an ugly appearance have an affectionate character, quickly become attached to a person, and love company. Cats quickly adapt to changes in the situation; Minskins are happy where the owner is happy. How nice it is to stroke them! Warm, soft body that feels like cashmere.
Price
There are no nurseries of this breed in Russia and Ukraine. In foreign nurseries, the cost of kittens varies from 500 to 2000 dollars.
Author's comment
If you manage to get a rare kitten, do not leave your pet alone. Take it with you everywhere. Without an owner, the animal will get sick from melancholy.
The breed of the ugliest cat in the world
The ugliest cat in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records, lives in England. This is an 8-year-old black Sphynx animal that is completely hairless with abundant red hair on the front of the neck and chest. Cats of this breed, according to the standard, are born without hair. But due to impurities in the Devon Rex blood genes, sometimes kittens are born with patches of vegetation.
The ugliest cat in the world
For your information! You can argue with the opinion of the book of records if you see a Siamese cat from the USA, which has a bifurcated muzzle: two noses and mouths, three eyes. Named Frank and Louis due to their appearance. Despite its repulsive appearance, the cat has an affectionate disposition and loves to sit in the arms of its owner.
Among the faces that touch the hearts of most cat lovers, there are a number of scary cat breeds.
Likoy
The first kitten of the Likoi breed was the result of crossing two outbred individuals. Breeders did not purposefully breed a cat with the traits of this species. Nature created a creature with rare gray hair. The skin shows through the vegetation, which gives the cat a pitiful appearance. When you look at the cat, you get the impression that it has been exposed to radiation and is suffering from radiation sickness. Because of its rare grayish fur, the cat was named the Werewolf.
Scary cats have a thin build, the muzzle is partially covered with hair, and there are bald patches around the eyes and nasolabial triangle. In the sun, the animal's skin tans to black; after a few weeks of being indoors, it turns pink again.
The Lykoi population is small, the cost of a kitten reaches 2 thousand dollars*

Note! The breed was registered 2 years after the birth of the first kitten and immediately became popular among lovers of exotic beauty.
Sphinx
Before the advent of exotic breeds, it was believed that the Sphynx was the most terrible cat in the world. Color is the color of an animal's skin, which can be white, pink, black, gray. The black color is more pleasant to perceive.
There are varieties: Don Sphynx and Canadian. The Don cat was bred in the 80s. in Soviet Union. It has the dimensions of a standard cat - a proportionally built figure, a medium-sized head. The whole body is covered with small folds, which are most noticeable in kittens. At birth, the cat is still covered with fine hair, but with age it falls out and there are no whiskers.
Note! An adult has an elevated body temperature and sweats when it is hot.
The domestic representative of the breed is distinguished by a complete absence of hair; a foreigner may have patches of hair on the chest and belly. The Russian Sphynx has elongated toes that he loves to move. The animal's muzzle is wedge-shaped, its eyes are almond-shaped, its ears are long and slightly rounded at the ends.
The Sphinx is actively bought not only because of its impressive appearance. Caring for your pet is made easier by the fact that the cat does not shed. The housewife does not have to constantly clean six in the apartment, which saves a lot of time. The cat loves to bask in the radiator; in the winter and in the off-season it is recommended to dress your pet in a warm sweater. The body must be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth.
Important! The Sphinx is afraid of drafts and catches colds easily. In winter, the cat needs to wear overalls.
Despite her repulsive appearance, the Sphynx treats her household with kindness, loves to spend a lot of time on her owner’s lap, and gets along with other pets. The cat constantly rubs its muzzle against parts of the human body, for which it is called the kissing cat.
Now a kitten of this breed will not surprise anyone, and its price is relatively low - about 300 dollars.
Minskin
The breed was developed just 10-15 years ago by crossing a Sphynx and a furry, short-legged Munchkin cat. The animal has a naked, elongated body and short legs. Received the nickname of the cat dachshund and is considered an ugly cat.
Due to its long body, the cat may have problems with the spine, so you should not overload it with games. Despite its ugly appearance, the pet needs care and attention, loves to sit in your arms, and gets along well with family members.
Scary kittens of this young breed are not easy to buy. The number of individuals is still small, lovers of freaks order a kitten abroad.

Devon Rex
Representatives of this breed received the nickname of aliens due to their huge eyes on a small cat's face and large ears spread out. Devon is a prefix derived from the place of origin of the breed group; the first kitten was born in Devonshire in England. The cat's body is covered with short curly hair. The adult is quite tiny.
Although these cats are similar to representatives of the Cornish Rex breed, their genetic composition has nothing in common with each other. The freak was created by crossing a cat with curly hair and a domestic cat.
Devon Rex looks like an alien
Ukrainian Levkoy
The name of the breed comes from the similarity of the shape of the ears with the flower of the Levkoy variety. The Ukrainian cat is named after the place where the species was bred. The young variety of the sphinx has an equally repulsive appearance. Drooping, as if broken, ears give the animal a pitiful appearance. The pet is blessed with a gentle character, easily gets used to new conditions, loves attention, and easily makes contact with a stranger. The cat is not vindictive and will not damage the owner’s furniture or belongings.
Ukrainian Levkoy is a very kind pet
There are representatives with a small coat of wool. Due to the short and thin hairs, the surface of the animal’s body feels like velvet to the touch. Cats with light hair do not cause such disgust as their hairless counterparts.
Other ugly breeds:
- Oriental is a rather ugly cat with an indifferent expression on its face. The body of the individual is covered with smooth shiny fur of different colors, the appearance is rather unpleasant and bears little resemblance to a cat's face. The eyes are set wide, the nose is massive, the mustache is large and directed not upward, but to the sides. This awkward combination makes the cat look like a small, floppy-eared man with a big nose;
- Munchkin is a short-legged cat. The appearance of the animal is quite ordinary; the short legs of the animal are perplexing. In humans, cats have always been associated with jumping ability and lightness. Seeing such a creature, you want to feel sorry for it, because the cat’s life becomes inferior. The cat will not be able to hunt at full strength or jump onto high surfaces. Munchkins should be given a lot of attention to compensate for the lack of exercise;
- Selkirk Rex. An animal with long wavy hair that requires daily grooming. A neglected cat may look unkempt and exhausted;
- Maine Coon. A large representative of felines. The body length reaches 140 cm with tail, an adult weighs up to 15 kg. There is an opinion that there is an admixture of lynx in the blood of the Maine Coon. Hence the tassels on the ears and the brutal, independent look of the animal.
Oriental cat looks like a human
Bambino
The Minskin and Bambino breeds are an example of how crossing two identical breeds can produce different results. A sphinx and a munchkin participated in the creation of the designer hybrid. The results were different, but equally terrible. Nude body, oily wrinkled skin, tiny legs.
Strange pets require careful care. Their body must be constantly wiped with a damp sponge to avoid finding greasy stains on furniture upholstery and clothing. Pets do not tolerate heat and cold well, they need to be protected from direct sunlight. Until old age, bambinos remain agile, curious kittens. They are playful and want to be aware of all everyday problems.
What is the price
In Russian nurseries - 25,000 - 100,000 rubles; in Ukrainian – 10,000 – 70,000 UAH.
Author's comment
In some countries, breeding cats of this experimental breed is prohibited.
Munchkin
Of course, it was impossible not to include in the rating the progenitor of the Minskin and Bambino breeds. It is difficult to call a Munchkin a scary cat; this breed is more suited to the definition of an unusual, strange cat. These are absolutely cute pets with a familiar feline appearance. If it weren't for their short legs, they would be no different from ordinary domestic cats.
Cats of this breed, whose development is based on a genetic defect, have a controversial attitude in the world. Not all felinologists believe that it is permissible to breed deformed cats on purpose. Nevertheless, half-cats have enough fans. Munchkins are affectionate and playful pets by nature.
Price
In Russia – 20,000 – 70,000 rubles; in Ukraine – 10,000 – 40,000 UAH.

If you want a dachshund, but can’t decide who you like more: cats or dogs, get a munchkin.
Grumpy Cat
No less popular is an animal named Grumpy Cat, whose real nickname is Tardar Sauce. She was nicknamed the angry cat because of the expression on her face; it seems that she is angry with the whole world. Perhaps this feeling arises due to the color of the animal; the animal belongs to the Snowshoe breed. Grumpy Cat lived only 7 years, she did not have any pathologies, but the cat could not cope with a urinary tract infection. The treatment didn't help. Fans will remember Grumpy Cat for a long time, because she reached unprecedented heights.
In 2013, she received an award in the Meme of the Year category, acted in films and commercials, and participated in television shows. According to some reports, she brought her owner about 100 million dollars, however, the woman calls this amount overpriced.

Oriental cat
The Oriental is a short-haired breed of cat with an elongated, bony body, a long neck, an awkward wedge-shaped head, fanned ears, and a thin long tail. It looks strange, but elegant. Not all cat lovers find the breed beautiful.
Animals with high intelligence and developed intuition quickly make you fall in love with their devotion and love. Orientals consider the owner to be a supreme being who must be served faithfully. In exchange for affection, they expect generosity, respect and affection from a person in return.

In Russian nurseries - 25,000 - 50,000 rubles; in Ukrainian – 10,000 – 20,000 UAH.

Fans of anorexic supermodels find charm and charm in the Oriental Shorthair cat.
Laperm
A cat with an unusual exterior is included in the list of scary breeds due to its unkempt fur. The main distinguishing feature of the Laperm is its curly coat. The fur of this fur coat resembles an unsuccessful perm done by an inexperienced artist.
On the cat's body there is straight, glossy fur, long elastic curls in the shape of a spiral, short curls and matted hair. The tail is huge, fluffy in shape, reminiscent of a squirrel.
Among cat lovers, lapermas have gained popularity because of their sociability and gentle nature. Cats are inquisitive, affectionate and loving. They love to sit on the laps and hands of their owner and love to purr.
Price
In Russian nurseries - 35,000 - 50,000 rubles; There are no nurseries of this breed in Ukraine.
Author's comment
The breed is for those connoisseurs who will not spare a lot of money for a faded fur coat with scuffs from a fashionable designer boutique.
Strange and unusual
Representatives of a breed called Laperm are called strange and even scary cats . The first kitten of this unusual breed was born in Dallas in the early 80s of the last century. Therefore, this breed can also be considered relatively young. A characteristic feature of cats is their unusual fur. It seems that the pet received a not entirely successful perm. Many cats look unkempt and a little strange because of such an unusual coat. Therefore, pets of this breed are often included in the rating of ugly cats.
It is worth noting that these cats are distinguished by their responsive and devoted character. In addition, many believe that these are the most loving and kind cats.
Devon Rex - cats of this breed are also called elves by many. And all because they have unusual and large ears, reminiscent of the ears of fairy-tale creatures. Cats of this breed have other distinctive features. For example, this is an unusual cheekbone muzzle and special fur. The fur of these cats is very soft, delicate and slightly wavy. These cats are distinguished by their sociability and friendliness. They love affection, active and active games.
Cymric
According to legend, Cymric cats lost their tails when they jumped into Noah's Ark at the last minute. The absence of a tail, partial or complete, is the main distinguishing feature of the breed. But this is not the only reason why the Cymrik made it into our TOP “The most terrible cat breeds”. The animals have a strong, stocky body, powerful hind legs that are longer than the front legs.
Kymriks are hunter cats. They are very inquisitive, agile and can climb to the highest places in the house. This causes discomfort to cat owners; they complain that cats take things from the highest shelves.
What is the price
There are no nurseries of this breed in Russia and Ukraine. In the USA, such kittens are sold at prices ranging from $350 to $1,500.
Author's comment
If your dream is a stocky, powerful cat that looks like a sumo wrestler constantly, the Cymrik will be the perfect choice!
Examples of cats with scary eyes
Fear in humans is caused not only by the lack of fur in the animal, but also by the expressive, shocking look. The expression of the muzzle can be different: from perplexed, dull, intoxicated to warningly angry, harboring resentment, hatred.
Big cats - examples of names of the largest animal breeds
A glassy gaze can be found at the Lykoi. The Oriental is endowed with an indifferent, absent expression of the muzzle. The Sphinx, the owner of an angry, hateful expression, greets the Maine Coon man with contentment.
Important! You should not bring your face close to the cat's face. The animal is a predator and can bite or scratch a person or injure a child.
