My boyfriend called my cat "ugly" and says animals gross him out. Red flag?

He's also got the sweetest temperament. He always goes up to strangers and purrs/brushes against them and is very friendly. Anyway, my new boyfriend met my cat. He says pets gross him out and he's never wanted a cat. He said he had cats as a kid and "their eyes are gross".

He met my cat the other day and said "he's ugly". Is this a red flag? Or am I being a little judgmental of my new boyfriend?
