werewolf cat

Meet the Lykoi, otherwise known as the werewolf cat!

A genetic mutation occurring in healthy, domesticated shorthair cats causes a hair pattern that resembles a werewolf. After some genetic testing to make sure that the hair pattern didn’t indicate health problems, two cats from unrelated litters were selected to start to make a healthy breed. The cats have also been examined by veterinarians, dermatologists, and cardiologists to ensure the breed is in good health.

In 2012, the Lykoi became a recognized breed of The International Cat Association.

Can you imagine the vet's face on the cat's first checkup if they didn't know about the breed?
