Temperament
Lykoi cats are sharp, energetic, and fiercely loyal! They're like having a tiny, hyper-intelligent watchdog in feline form. They’re deeply curious and will map out every inch of their environment, always aware and calculating. They form intense bonds with their humans. They play with the focus of a predator, but when they decide it’s time to relax, they’ll curl up beside you like they never had a wild streak at all. Social but never needy, independent but never distant, Lykoi kitties are the perfect mix of companionship and autonomy.
What the Heck Even is a Lykoi?
If you’re here, you’ve probably already seen a Lykoi and thought, what on earth is that cat??
That’s fair. They look part cat, part werewolf, part adorable goblin. But here’s the truth: Lykoi are a natural mutation of the domestic shorthair—no fancy hybrid, no relation to Sphynx, and definitely not a science experiment. Their patchy coat and unique look come from a genetic mutation that affects the way their hair grows (and sheds).
All Lykoi kittens are born fully coated, but things change fast. Around 1–4 weeks of age, their coat starts to thin out—sometimes dramatically. Some lose a lot of hair and look pretty bald, while others keep more of their coat. And yep, that can keep changing as they grow. Lykoi can go through seasonal molts where they lose hair and regrow it in unpredictable patterns. But their final base-line coat might not be fully apparent until 4-5 months of age.
