He goes by the name of Ugly Bat Boy - no prizes for guessing why.
This follicly-challenged feline has become a tourist attraction because of his bizarre appearance.
Eight-year-old Ugly, whose breed is not known, spends most of his time keeping warm by sitting on a computer at the Exeter Veterinary Hospital in New Hampshire.
Unlucky in looks: Ugly Bat Boy is bald except for an unkempt bib of hair around his neck
Staff at the veterinary hospital have even been forced to put up fliers saying he's perfectly normal - just unattractive.
They claim he makes up for his terrible looks by having inner beauty and a nice disposition.
He's also turned into something of a tourist attraction in Exeter, New Hampshire, America.
'People come in and take pictures of him on their cell phones,' staff member Christie Hartnett said.

'He's just great. The impression from clients that come in is he's not real because he just sits so still.
'When he does move, he scares them, but they still think he's mesmerizing.'
Ugly and his sister, who only survived a few weeks, were both born without fur.
Despite his looks, staff say he likes as much fuss as any ordinary cat
And although he may not look like an ordinary cat, staff at the hospital say he behaves exactly like every other feline they've ever known.
He loves attention and is very friendly.
