Lykoi Cat
Sign in to saveAlso known as Lykoi, wolf cat, werewolf cat
The Lykoi (commonly called wolf cat or werewolf cat) is a breed of cat derived from a natural mutation causing a form of hypotrichia (e.g. congenital alopecia) 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.
