List of Cat Breeds


The Lykoi, also known as werewolf cat, is a partially hairless breed of cat that has an appearance similar to the classic Hollywood werewolf. It is the result of a natural mutation of a domestic shorthaired cat

Breed history and informationEdit

In Virginia, 2010, two families of domestic shorthairs with the Lykoi gene were adopted from a rescue after being discovered in Virginia in 2010, by Patti Thomas, who co-founded and named the breed.

But in 2011 Tennessee, a second pair was located.

AppearanceEdit

Lykoi vary from completely covered in hair to partially hairless. Their hair is silvery-black, and the hair looks bristly.

This gives them a Werewolf like appearance.

PersonalityEdit

TriviaEdit

  • Lykoi means wolf in Greek.
