    Font - The Lykoi (commonly called wolf cat sometimes werewolf cat) is a natural mutation from a domestic shorthaired cat. The mutation has occurred in domestic cats over the last 20 years. DNA testing has been done by UC Davis to confirm that the cats do not carry the Sphynx/Devon Rex gene. The breed was developed by Patti Thomas in Vonore, Tennessee. Lykos means 'wolf' in Greek.

    "The first representatives of popular werewolf-like cats were officially announced in 2010. The breed appeared as a result of natural mutation of cats in an American family."
