Health Care |
The Lykoi is a natural mutation of the domestic shorthair. Its most distinguishing feature is its “werewolf-like” appearance. The Lykoi has a sparse coat that is more like wool than hair. The coat can be any color, but is typically black or gray. The Lykoi is a medium-sized cat, with males averaging 10-12 pounds and females 8-10 pounds.
The Lykoi is a relatively new breed, and as such, there is not a lot of information available on their health. However, they are generally considered to be a healthy breed. They are a hardy breed, and are not prone to the health problems that plague some of the more “fragile” breeds. The Lykoi does require some special care, however. Because of their sparse coat, they are more susceptible to cold weather than other cats. They should not be allowed outdoors in cold weather, and should be kept indoors in a warm, draft-free environment. They should also be groomed regularly to prevent their coat from matting. Overall, the Lykoi is a healthy, hardy breed of cat. With proper care, they can make wonderful, loving companions. |
History
The Lykoi cat is a natural mutation of the domestic shorthair. The word Lykoi is Greek for "wolf". The Lykoi is also sometimes referred to as the "werewolf cat" because of its unique appearance. The Lykoi cat is not a hairless cat, but rather has a coat that resembles that of a wolf or coyote. The coat is mostly black with white patches and may have roaning (a mix of black and white hairs). The eyes are large and oval shaped and may be any color, but are typically green or yellow.
The history of the Lykoi breed is shrouded in mystery. It is believed that the first Lykoi cats were discovered in Tennessee in 2010. A woman named Brittney Gobble found two kittens in her barn that she believed to be ferrets. After doing some research, she realized that these were not ferrets, but rather a new type of cat! She contacted Dr. Johnny Gobble, a veterinarian and geneticist, who began studying these unusual cats.
Dr. Gobble determined that the Lykoi was not a hybrid or crossbreed, but rather a natural mutation of the domestic shorthair. He also found that the mutation was recessive, meaning that both parents must carry the gene in order for their kittens to be born Lykoi. In 2011, the International Cat Association (TICA) recognized the Lykoi as an official breed!
TheLykoicat almost became extinct due to its rarity, but has since become popular due to its unique appearance and friendly personality. There are now several hundred Lykoi cats around the world!
