What is a wolf cat?

27
In Greek, the word “Lykoi” means “Wolf.” A new, genetically engineered cat, the Lykoi, or “Wolf Cat,” is said to resemble a wolf — or, some say, a werewolf. Further research revealed a rare, “naturally occurring mutation,” found only in domestic shorthair cats.


Also asked, how much is a Lykoi cat?

Because of their rarity, Lykoi kittens go for more that $2,000. Blue Lykoi kittens start at $1,500, black tuxedo kittens are $1,800, and black roan Lykoi cats cost $2,500. Unfortunately, there are currently no new litters and interested animal lovers will have to sign-up on a waitlist on the Gobbles' website.

Likewise, are Lykoi cats healthy? Thankfully, the Lykoi has not shown any specific health problems; however the scientists studying the Lykoi warn that it is too early to tell. Normally a breed will not display health problems until the cat is at least 6-7 years old.

Secondly, are Wolf cats real?

The Lykoi is a natural mutation from a domestic shorthair that has the appearance of a werewolf. The mutation has occurred in domestic cats over the last 20 years. The Lykoi breed was developed in Vonore, Tennessee and is said to resemble a werewolf. The word "lykoi" means 'wolves' in Greek.

How long do Lykoi cats live?

20 years

Are Lykoi cats soft?

This Lykoi coat looks like it would feel stiff or like bristles, but it actually is very soft and silk-like. That is why Lykoi cats can look so different from one another. Some may look more naked like a Sphynx, while others can look almost completely coated.
