Mostly bald cat isn’t really as ugly as they say

I first saw this story on the BBC site, here, but their video doesn’t allow for embedding on my blog. I think most of their video was taken from an original American TV report, which I found on YouTube (someone videotaped it from their TV):

There’s another video report here, with different images, but you have to watch an ad first, and I can’t embed that one either.

I’m not sure why an eight-year-old cat is suddenly getting all this attraction, except that news media are as susceptible to trends as the rest of the world.

And I don’t think the cat is all that ugly. Different-looking, sure, but I think the fur around his neck is vaguely lion’s-mane like, and it looks like he’s got a great temperament. I’d take him home.

He’s sure saddled with an awful name, though!
