Sweet and cute elderly cat sometimes looks like a monster from your nightmares...

Cute. Or you know, utterly terrifying. Either or.

Meet 15 year-old Rocky!

Despite his scary look, he's actually a complete love bug. Sometimes his gums get stuck like that and his dad just snapped the purrfect picture.

"The terror in his look is bested only by the love in his heart and the fur on his tail. He is nearly 15 and called Rocky," his dad shared on reddit.

He tells his little snarl faced cat that he's wonderful several times a day.

Sometimes when your cat has gums that stick like this, this could mean a sign of dehydration. He has plenty of bowls of water around the house, but felines tend to not drink as often as they should. That's where introducing wet food into their diets can really help. Cat daddy is going to look into it.

Still, this old kitty is cute to us!

Kind of reminds of Gmork from The Neverending Story though...
