Sharky, survivor

April 14, 2018 4:36 PM

Sharky wins The Stranger's First Annual Ugly Pet Contest Sharky shows me every day that it is okay to be a little weird, to never stop trying, and to not let the evil of the world make you bitter.

Sharky is precious and Rocco is just a handsome boy, but THAT CAT! It brings me joy.

Thank you. They are all amazing (and perfectly named!), but Sharky makes me tear up.

I know sphynx cats are often considered ugly, but Prunella doesn't seem much uglier than a typical one. May as well just enter any ol sphynx and get 2nd place?

Personality counts for a lot.

In the nicest way possible, Rocco's teeth look like candy corn.

Sharky is a very good dog, and I’m glad she met the human she’s with.

Ok, even with the -fur- skin pattern not being the best match, if they ever do a live action adaptation of Saga, Lady Prunella Knucklesnude von Wrinklebothum needs to be cast as Lying Cat.
