About the Lykoi
The so-called werewolf cat, with a partially hairless black roan coat and patchy facial fur from a natural mutation found in Tennessee feral cats in 2011. The name means wolf in Greek. Testing found no relation to the Sphynx or Devon genes. Loyal to owners but initially wary of strangers.
