Meet the “werewolf” cat, a feline that lives up to its name with its striking and eerie appearance. Despite its intimidating exterior, this breed is known for its kind and gentle demeanor, making it a beloved pet among many. The werewolf cat is the result of breeding a Sphynx with a short-haired American cat approximately two decades ago in Virginia, USA. What started as an experimental crossbreed turned into a unique and beloved pet that continues to capture the hearts of cat lovers worldwide.

When the kittens were born, it was expected that they would be hairless and possess a strong physique. However, gray fur was visible in certain areas of their body. The owners initially thought that the kittens would not survive for long, but they defied the odds and amazed everyone with their excellent health.

Eventually, the breed was officially recognized as a lycoa. These incredible animals have a slender body, huge ears, and yellow eyes, and can now be purchased for a considerable amount of money. In adult pets, the hair on their body grows in bunches. They do not have hair around their eyes, on the tips of their paws, or on their nose.

Despite looking angry and unapproachable, lykoys are actually kind and gentle. They show a dog-like devotion to their owners and will bravely come to their defense if needed.

Lykoys require special care due to their sensitivity to cold. As such, they need warm clothing to stay comfortable. Although they have minimal fur, they still shed quite a bit, which means that their owners must routinely clean all surfaces in their home to prevent a buildup of fur.

Currently, there are only a limited number of cats with this distinct appearance in existence! If you’re interested in purchasing one, be aware that the cost starts at around 160,000 rubles. Additionally, it’s possible that you may need to travel to North America to obtain one.
