Lykoi Characteristics

 

Lykoi cats weigh between 3.5 and 7kg, with the males larger than the females. The shape of the head is triangular, their eyes are large and gold and their nose is always black.

​

Lykoi are fully coated when born and start to mutate at around five to ten days old, subsequently growing their roan coat, which no other known breed of cat has. For every dark hair there is a white hair, thus giving a salt and pepper effect. The amount of white to black varies, but an ideal amount is 50/50. Their hair type is soft, even if it has a rough appearance.
