Lykoi Cat FAQs
Q: What gives the Lykoi its “werewolf” appearance?
A: Their unique look comes from a natural genetic mutation that results in partial hairlessness and a “roan” coat pattern, where some colored hairs are mixed with white hairs.
Q: Are Lykoi cats truly hairless?
A: No, they are only partially hairless. They lack an undercoat, and some hair follicles may not produce hair, giving them a sparse, unique coat. They can also shed and regrow their coat.
Q: Are Lykoi cats hypoallergenic?
A: No cat breed is 100% hypoallergenic. While they have less hair, allergens are still present in their dander and saliva. Some people with allergies may tolerate them better, but individual reactions vary.
Q: Do they get along with children and other pets?
A: Yes, they are generally known for their playful, affectionate, and dog-like loyal nature, making them good companions for respectful children and other cat-friendly pets, especially if properly introduced.
Q: What is their personality like?
A: They are highly intelligent, curious, and very social. They enjoy interactive play and forming strong bonds with their human families.
