Meet The ‘Werewolf’ Cat From Virginia That People Can’t Stop Talking About
Cats come in all shapes, sizes, and personalities, but every now and then, one shows up that completely redefines what you thought you knew about them.
Puck is exactly that kind of cat. When his owner posted a video of him online, people couldn’t stop talking—not for what he did, but for how he looks.
At first glance, Puck doesn’t fit the usual mold of soft and fluffy or sleek and graceful. His appearance is so unique it almost feels like he stepped out of another world.
Some viewers even do a double-take, wondering if they’re staring at a scruffy little rat… or a Pokémon come to life.
Puck is a Lykoi cat, often nicknamed the “Werewolf cat” for good reason. His patchy black-and-white “roan” coat and striking golden eyes give him a wild, mysterious look.
This unusual appearance comes from a genetic mutation that prevents him from growing a full undercoat, giving him his signature sparse fur. And, as if fate had a sense of humor, Puck was born on Halloween.
Sometimes, when he sheds, he almost resembles a Sphynx, but don’t be fooled, the breeds aren’t related.
Despite his eerie appearance, Puck is a total goofball at home. He might be cautious around the outside world, but inside, he’s playful, mischievous, and full of personality.
Lykoi cats are still relatively new to most people, so their unusual looks often spark surprise, and sometimes comparisons to creatures from ghost stories. As one fan on Instagram commented:
“Perfect blend of wild and wicked, like something that crawled out of the shadows just to stir up trouble.”
Even with their spooky appearance, Lykoi cats are incredibly loving. Many people fall in love instantly, as one commenter shared:
“What a beautiful, unusual-looking boo kitty! You’ve stolen my heart.”
Another fan added, “The gold eyes really make the look come together,” while a third pointed out the breed’s high energy:
“And the energy level!! My Lykoi is 3.5 years old and wears out my other kitties, yet he still wants to play. I’ve never had a more energetic cat.”
What makes Lykoi cats like Puck so fascinating isn’t just their wild appearance, it’s the combination of curiosity, affection, and boundless energy. They’re quirky, playful, and loving all at once.
They might look fierce, but their personalities are anything but intimidating. Families who welcome a Lykoi can expect non-stop entertainment, mischief, and cuddles.
If you’re considering adding a Lykoi to your home, be prepared for a lot of activity and a very devoted companion. These cats thrive on playtime and interaction, bringing joy, laughter, and a little bit of spooky charm wherever they go.
Puck’s story is a reminder that sometimes the most unusual-looking cats are the ones with the biggest hearts and most entertaining personalities. Check out the video his owner shared to see this little “werewolf” in action, and don’t forget to unmute it!
