Lykoi (Werewolf Cat)

Felis catus

Dato Curioso

The Lykoi's 'werewolf' look comes from a natural mutation that prevents some hair follicles from producing hair — they molt and regrow their coat periodically, changing their appearance.

A partially hairless breed with a unique werewolf-like appearance caused by a natural mutation. Sparse coat with a roan pattern, hairless patches around eyes, nose, and chin. Despite the scary name, they're affectionate, loyal, and playful.
