Cat breed

Lykoi Cat

Origin: United States

Also known as: Lykoi, werewolf cat, wolf cat

The Lykoi is a breed of cat derived from a natural mutation causing a form of hypotrichia found in domestic short-haired cats. This mutation results in sparse, patchy fur, particularly around the face, giving individuals a "wolf-like" appearance, as well as periodic full or partial molting. Lykoi cats are highly susceptible to cysts and other skin problems.
