Xherdan is covered in wrinkles from head to toe which has earned him comparisons to aliens, brains and dumplings.

Though he often sports an angry-looking frown, his owner says he's "cheerful" but also "cheeky".

But I still would not cross him.

Here's what Xherdan has to say about himself...

"My skin is light pink, soft and warm – everyone always wants to touch and pet me. I love it! If you hold us in your arms, you'll never want to let us go. Did I say I love it?"

"At home, my people love me, and I am allowed to cuddle soooo much with them. I love to play and jump around the apartment. Sometimes they’ll laugh at me because I'm obviously very clumsy. That makes me happy. Laughter is the language of the soul, and I am grateful for the gift of making people laugh."

"I also like to purr, trill and prowl curiously. But I prefer to dream and be lazy. I curl myself up into arms, on legs or bellies, and nestle my pink, wrinkled body against my human family."
