Meet Quasi: The Ugliest Cute Cat Ever

the paw stars More on PawNation: Awesome, Cats, Funny, Quasi, The Dish

    Quasi is sure to deliver a mix of shock and awww thanks to his unusually cute face. According to Catster, Quasi was adopted by Renee Lavinsky in 2005 in Annapolis, Md. Soon after finding a home, Quasi also secured a career. He and his owner run the site My Ugly Kitty, a craft and cat blog that raises money for the Cats R Us adoption center.

    QUASI'S TAIL TALE

    While vets aren't certain how Quasi's signature look came to pass, their best guess is that the kitty has an unaltered cleft lip. The cleft lip most likely is connected to Quasi's eye, giving him his unique expression.

    DRAW ME!

    With a face like that, it's not surprising that Quasi is the inspiration for many of the craft goods on My Ugly Kitty.

    PAWS FOR THE CAUSE

    Thanks to Quasi's majestic mug, My Ugly Kitty has raised more than $4,000 for shelter felines in need. Obviously, the figure is a little higher than Quasi expected.

    PEEKABOO

    Due to Quasi's differences, he has trouble seeing out of one of his eyes, but he makes up for it with awesome ear power. There are rumors this keen-eared kitty can hear a bag crinkle from two floors up.

    OOF!

    For Quasi, being cute is necessary for business, so like any hard worker, this cat gets pooped after a long day.

    LICK IT GOOD

    It's not all about the face. Quasi knows he has to keep every part of his body looking fresh and clean.

    A GOOD THINK
