THE WORLD'S UGLIEST CATS

This is Ugly, the aptly named cat who might just be the ugliest in the world. But can the ugliest cat compete with the ugliest dogs?

For example, there's Elwood, a two-year-old Chinese Crested and Chihuahua mix who was crowned the world's ugliest dog in 2007 - much to the delight of his owner. 'The breeder was going to put him down him because she thought he was too ugly to sell. Now Elwood's all over the internet and people love him and adore him,' said Karen Quigley, Elwood's owner.
Or there's Gus, a hairless Chinese crested dog and another former winner of the World's Ugliest Dog contest, who sadly succumbed to cancer after a long battle last November.


And proudly representing our neighbours in Britain, we have Hubble, branded Britain's ugliest dog, who was abandoned in a wood but rescued and cared for by the Leeds Dogs Trust.


Or what about this freaky speciman (sorry speci-dog) unknown, unnamed and possibly even unloved (ahh actually we hope not). Ugly mystery dog we salute you!
