Meet Pixel the cat, whose dread visage is so terrifying it prompted Buddy to run screaming and hide behind the TV:
Buddy isn’t the only one to recoil in horror after seeing photos of the two-year-old Cornish Rex.
“All the time people say ‘this is the creepiest cat I’ve ever seen’, ‘my sleep paralysis demon has come to life’ and if they saw him in the middle of the night they’d have a heart attack and it would scare them to death,” said Alyson Kalhagen, Pixel’s human. “People say all the time that he’s a ‘demon cat’ who ‘must be possessed’ and that the devil’s taken control of him. It’s kind of a recurring theme.
“I think it’s pretty funny because I usually just say ‘imagine coming face to face when you’re trying to scoop the litter box.'”
Kalhagen even heard from a self-described exorcist after she began posting photos of her wide-eyed feline, who favors making weird faces that accentuate his freakiness.
The “exorcist” suggested caging Pixel and praying over him, cautioning that the cat was possessed by an entity.
It probably goes without saying, but for the benefit of our readers who aren’t familiar with Catholic belief and customs, exorcists are longtime priests who must complete a great deal of instruction — on top of the usual nine years of education including a post-graduate theology degree — before they can become exorcists. It’s not a job you can seek out or volunteer for, and exorcists are rarely publicly identified.
So it’s a safe bet to say the person who contacted Kalhagen is a self-proclaimed exorcist at best. Still, the person’s conviction that the cat is possessed is amusing:
Pixel, who has a thousand adoring fans on Instagram, is having the last laugh:
Frank was outraged: “See? This is what happens when a cat is deprived of treats too long! Do you really want to wake up to this every morning?”
Last time I looked, he was in the bathroom making faces at himself in the mirror.

Frank is an expert manipulator. What choice do you have but to give him more treats?

I think he’s kinda cute! But then again, I am a big fan of Lovecraft and his eldritch creatures … Lovecraft adored cats, btw.

Just as long as we don’t see a Cthulu cat. That would terrify me. 🙂

Use it to get her to comply. “Eat your food or the devil cat is gonna get you!”

A lot of people really like Sphynxes, peterbalds, etc. I’m glad those cats have homes.

I’ve got to show 2 of my extreme cat-loving friends Pixel’s photo and see what they say. Then maybe that will help me to respond, because I’m kind of in a state of shocked-limbo…

Pixel looks like he has the head of a bat on the body of a cat.
A bat-cat?

His ears look kinda like wings. They’re bigger than his face!
