15 cat breeds that are considered the ugliest (16 photos)

Cat lovers are sure that every cat is flawless and beautiful. However, it would be fair to say that some cats are perhaps a little cuter than others. And it's not just a matter of taste. So, the researchers decided to find out which cat breeds are the most beautiful and ugliest in order to close this question forever.





They used the golden ratio method to measure faces lengthwise and crosswise and come up with an ideal cuteness quotient. Yes, yes, the same method is used to measure the beauty of movie stars and other celebrities. They came up with an interesting table with rather interesting results. Below you can see the purr breeds that have the highest gap with ideal beauty standards.

Somali cat - 15th place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.43

British Shorthair - 14th place





Difference from the golden ratio: 0.44

Researchers used the golden ratio to determine which cat is the ugliest. By measuring the distance between certain points on the face, such as the eyes, nose and mouth, they were able to calculate how closely each cat's proportions followed the golden ratio.

Sphinx - 13th place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.45

Cornish Rex - 11-12 place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.49

Burmese cat - 11-12 place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.49

Abyssinian cat - 10th place

The beauty quotient of cats is calculated approximately. You should not assume that this is a reference study that you should seriously rely on when choosing a pet.

Oriental cat – 9th place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.59

Savannah - 7-8 place



Difference from the golden ratio: 0.63

Devon Rex - 7-8 place

Exotic shorthair cat – 4th place

Persian cat - 3rd place



Difference from the golden ratio: 5.87

According to the golden ratio standards, there are three felines that fall slightly (and in some cases significantly) short of the reference standard of beauty. The Persian cat opens the top three.

Peterbald - 2nd place



Difference from the golden ratio: 18.16

The Peterbald breed takes honorable silver. These cats are famous for their large pointed ears and triangular muzzle, which give them a very striking and atypical appearance.

Himalayan cat - 1st place



Difference from the golden ratio: 56.87

Unfortunately, this flat-faced cat takes first place as the least attractive breed. It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? Since the golden ratio takes into account the proportions of key features, a flat nose and large eyes played a key role in the gap from ideal indicators.
