Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and shall we say, love. The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly.
To start with, he had only one eye, and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.
His tail has long since been lost, leaving only the smallest stub, which he would constantly jerk and twitch. Ugly would have been a dark gray tabby striped-type, except for the sores covering his head, neck, even his shoulders with thick, yellowing scabs. Every time someone saw Ugly there was the same reaction. "That's one ugly cat!"
All the children were warned not to touch him, the adults threw rocks at him, ho

Ugly died in my arms before I could get inside, but I sat and held him for a long time afterwards, thinking about how one scarred, deformed little stray could so alter my opinion about what it means to have true pureness of spirit, to love so totally and truly. Ugly taught me more about giving and compassion than a thousand books, lectures, or talk show specials ever could, and for that I will always be thankful.
He had been scarred on the outside, but I was scarred on the inside, and it was time for me to move on and learn to love truly and deeply. To give my total to those I cared for.

Many people want to be richer, more successful, well liked, or beautiful, but for me, I will always try to be "Ugly".

We had a cat like that around the apartments that we lived in. He was so mean. One of the ladies finally started feeding him and he calmed down some. He died not too long after that.

I'm like the biggest animal lover ever and espically when it comes to cats and dogs! He sounds like he needs help. I would take him to the vet and have them do what they can for him. Have him groomed while he is at the vet just to get rid of the flees and stuff like that. After all that, let him move in with you and give him a different name. Make him your best friend!

I don't know if that is a true story or if you read is somewhere or just made it up. It doesn't matter because it was extremely touching and it made me think as well as made me cry. I never thought I'd want to say that I, too, want to be ugly. Thank you for making my day!
