Are Lykoi ‘Werewolf Cats’ The Ugliest Felines To Walk The Earth? [Videos, Photos]


Werewolf cats, or Lykoi, have been bred in a manner that makes them look very similar to the canine mythological creature. Werewolf cats have patchy fur that falls out through a shedding process. When the fur finally grows back in, the cat has a scruffy look very similar to the werewolf. That’s why Lykois have been dubbed werewolf cats and public opinion is split on whether they are cute and cuddly, or creepy, wretched and even cursed. Some feel that breeding cats for this type of look isn’t only wrong, but cruel. For those who are fond of these wolf-like cats, there’s good news. Thanks to the breeding activities of veterinarian Dr. Johnny Gobbel, anyone who can afford the price can become the owner of a werewolf cat.

Not everyone thinks werewolf cats are cute, as determined by reading comments on the official Lykois Facebook page and the Facebook page Zeke, Gobsgobblins: The Big Bad Wolf – Lykoi aka Werewolf Cat. Though werewolf cats get their unusual fur from a mutation that occurs during breeding, the cats are healthy and the Lykoi breed has been accepted in the International Cat Association. While Lykoi cats are known for their “creepy” appearance, there are some who insist the cats are cute and adorable. Despite their physical appearance, these werewolf cats have very interesting traits that make them unique and distinguish them from other cat breeds.

According to the International Cat Association, werewolf cats like to stalk their prey before making their move of attack. Even people have been known to feel watched and stalked by their pet Lykois. They are loyal, and in some ways, behave more like dogs than cats. They can learn to play fetch and enjoy hunting and chasing. These traits make them seem even more like werewolf cats than the typical feline. Though the cats may look terrible to some with their patchy fur and bald spots, the International Cat Association insists the mutation isn’t something Johnny Gobble created or manipulated himself; rather, it is something that has occurred naturally in wild, feral cats.
