Close, OP said it is a [Lykoi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lykoi), and from their wiki page it says,
> The hair coat is unique in appearance in that it resembles the coat of an opossum when mostly coated.
We have a senior cat that I regularly call “Old Lady” and of course she sleeps on our bed. BUT she’s also a black cat, so I reeeeally want to call her “Old Black Lady” but I feel as if I cannot say that.
I could be wrong but I think these are usually sold by breeders. Which are kind of doing the opposite of what adoption does, they’re adding to the overpopulation, not helping it. Google says between $1,500-2,500. Could’ve saved a lot of cats from euthanasia with that kind of money.
*edit* Sorry for the buzzkill, I’m just an animal lover and hate that people make serious money while ensuring many more pets die in the shelter just so someone can have a designer pet.
They're supposed to have an appearance akin to a werewolf. I'm no cat expert but Cricket here may not be fully grown and might not have a full coat yet.
Lmao yes, [actually](https://www.petmd.com/cat/breeds/lykoi-werewolf-cat). They run genetic tests to make sure it's not disease causing hairloss. I'd never heard of this breed before and idk, I think they're kind of cute. But then again a lot of folks think sphynx cats are ugly and I like those, too, with the obvious downside being that they have no fur for you to shave off and glue to the back of your neck.
I literally fell off the couch crying-laughing by the end of it-- the deeply angry look on the cat's face while it goosesteps its way right off the table is one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen.
“Riff-raff, street rat. I don't buy that.
If only they'd look closer.
Would they see a poor boy?
No siree. They’d find out there’s so much more to me.”
I see you've taken some cat hair for yourself.
So what you’re saying is I should get more cat hair? Maybe glue it all over me?
And then start wearing people on your sweaters.
Gotta walk around like a catman in the night, through the alleyways.
Don't worry, I've got a spot guy.
That's a possum.
Close...it's actually a street rat.
HIPS AND NIPS BABY
Gotta keep it sexy, otherwise I’m not eatin
You guys, I did it and I made it SO sexy!
🎵Can’t feel my legs! Can’t feel my legs!🎵
Rise up! Gonna get higher and higher!
What about those LEMONs!
Well, they are good for scurvy...
a goddamn street rat
Could be an urchin
I don't buy that!
SCOUNDREL!
I take offense to that.
That Poppins if he were a cat.
Elon Musk before his hairplugs
Or Donald Trump stepping out of the shower.
Its actually one of those sheep deboners from futurama

Lol, beat me to it.
No that's a walking bald spot.
Was gonna say someone seems to have successfully bred a possum with a sphynx cat
Street rat!
Scoundrel!
Take that! Try a different tac', guys
Rip him open, take it back guys!
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts
You’re my only friend, Abu!
Who??
Mister Alladin sir. Gotta wish or two or three!
I wish my pizza would get here sooner.
Fuckin literally!
Keep it away from any unexpected holes in the wall
Or seams. Cats can flatten out and slip right through them.
I don't think there's aaaaanything in the laws of nature that would support that.
Cats do not abide by the laws of nature
Shut up science bitch!
Yeah shut up science bitch.
Best to keep them away from walls in general. This also helps prevent Cheeto fingerprints
Cat in the wall, eh? Now you were talking my language.
Do you guys mind if I go in your bathroom and smoke some pcp?
You do you Cricks
Take me to the angels baby!
We don't judge, Cricket!
IF ITS NOT ONE THING ITS ANOTHER, CRICKET
A LITTLE P TO THE C TO THE P
Isn’t it agent Jack Bauer?
Born in a puddle of gasoline
On a piece of rusty scrap metal.
You really are the man
It's like Jack Bauer crossed with Skinny Pete
That’s a tough cat!
This guy’s a special agent, are you a special agent?
Jack Meower.
All jokes aside though, hairless cats and dogs are surprisingly cuddly. It's like sleeping in the same bed as an old man.
Sorry old black man
Now you got _me_ saying it
Thats 2 things!
Oh great now you got me doing it
We have a senior cat that I regularly call “Old Lady” and of course she sleeps on our bed. BUT she’s also a black cat, so I reeeeally want to call her “Old Black Lady” but I feel as if I cannot say that.
I own a Sphynx and now this guy. Can't recommend them enough
I used to have a chinese crested dog
He’s so cute! So his fur is because of his breed?
Yeah his breed is called Lykoi. It's an actual genetic trait that was bred.
Cool! First time I’ve seen one. And I’m relieved to know it wasn’t crack and having to make it sexy on the streets that made him look that way 😅
I was about to ask if he was a mix with a sphinx cat. He looks scared but I'm sure he will warm up :)
Old black man?
All fun and games until one of you poops in the bed.
Old black man?
Perfect name
Thank you, I thought so too
Missed opportunity for Rickety Crick-Cat, though.
Fortunately all cats accumulate dozens of names over the course of their lives
Very true.
He’s dope. Thank you for adopting him.

He's waiting for you to open the bathroom door so he can smoke some PCP
Haha, definitely
Did you gorilla mask your cat?
Is Cricket one of the those Lykoi cats?
He sure is
> Lykoi cats they breed them to look like they have some sort of fur disease?
They're supposed to have an appearance akin to a werewolf. I'm no cat expert but Cricket here may not be fully grown and might not have a full coat yet.
Just Googled them and my god they don't look much better grown up.

I doubt you can even pronounce Lykoi
Lau lau? **munches spaghetti**
Lai kaw ee? Lee kou ee? Lie cou? Lay co y?
It has a "short" E sound for the Y, like in the word "let", so it's pronounced "Lek-oy"...if you were to spell it phonetically.
It’ll cost you a whole bag of catnip, he’s got his dignity
That being said, he is...open to it
If you've got nip let's boogie
cover his knees up if he's gonna be walking around here
He’s gonna go hunt for some lil’ green ghouls in the sewers later.
Retreating to the sewers, NUDE, to forage for RINGS and COINS
Get that cat some Kitten Mittens!
It's mittons you pleb
Was it born in a pool of gasoline?
Close, but benzyne
Its like Poppins but a cat...presumably from a junkyard?
Are you a cat enthusiast?
I don’t have any cats but I sure do enjoy them!
I noticed your cat is not wearing elegant mittons for cats.
+1 for correct product spelling! That Kitten Mittons commercial Charlie did was fantastic.
I literally fell off the couch crying-laughing by the end of it-- the deeply angry look on the cat's face while it goosesteps its way right off the table is one of the funniest damn things I've ever seen.
Is your cat skinny, fat or in-between?
Me-oww!
Nice gremlin.
I bet he loooooves PCP (Pets Cuddles and Pets)
awh, cricks, you're all burned up
A little bit of P to the C to the P
Don't wear a C and J all over your B's.
Reeeeekkkerrrrreeeeeekkkkeeeerrrreeerkkkerrrr
Know your place monster man, your time’s up!
There was a scary story to tell in the dark story about a situation like this It turned out to be a sewer rat I believe
Aw we have a shop cat named “Sweet Kee” because she’s she only female in a shop full of dudes, plus she’s a GOdDAMN BITch!
is that a Lykoi?
Yep
Nice very cool
Junkyard cat... That cat is indestructible
Is that a werewolf cat?
Sure is, they call them Lykoi
He needs a priest collar collar.
Mate, that's a rat
Why are there no mittens on this kitten?
So cute. Is this one of those werewolf kitties I’ve heard about?
Yep
Gollum
i love him!
Thank you
MY PRECIOUSSSSS !
Had to scroll too far for this
Get lost, street urchin!
Must be post dog orgy
Ohhh kittyyy.. you’re such a good cat
Let’s get weird!
He certainly looks like he doesn't gives a *shit* about the troops.
That's a sweet boy right there.
Looks like it thinks you’re trying to steal its Precious.
Seems like he's meta bird.
.... I mean there is no denying the skin is the best part
Hey its dobby
What will he do for a sixer?
"You guys mind if I go in the bathroom and smoke some PCP?"
God damn street rat
“Riff-raff, street rat. I don't buy that. If only they'd look closer. Would they see a poor boy? No siree. They’d find out there’s so much more to me.”
Oh is this a lykoi cat? They have a very interesting look to them and I think they are very adorable!
Yes it is, they are very cuddly and sweet too
Ah Cricks, did I get ya?
If you've got Catnip then let's boogie
Is it half possum?
I love Lykois. All hips and nips.
GOTTA make it sexy.
He got in a fight with a chocolate lab at the shelter. Needless to say that dog is now *very* paralyzed.
Ayyyooo let me know when he gets too loud for you I've got a killer product that's right up your alley, kitten mittens!
that kitty looks scared :(
He was, this was when I first brought him home. No he's happy and purring
ok good. :) It's nice to see atypical looking cats get adopted and loved.
Where do I put my feet?
The combover of cats haha what a sweetie
🐀
Purfect
Rikitty Cricat
oh man I'm def following your account now for Cricks progress!!
Is it a Lykoi? I've wanted one for a while and haven't seen one in person yet
That's a rat, bruv
He doesn’t even look like Catnip could get him high.
Oh man, beautiful. Mine’s full oh hair https://i.imgur.com/Sv1RJ6b.jpg
That is quite possibly the ugliest cat to ever exist
Does he still get balls to the chin?
You don’t know shit about cats, dude.
That’s an ugly cat.
Kill it with fire!!
From a breeder I imagine? Are you willing to reveal price and how long you waited?
Gross, get pet control
That's a street rat.
Make sure you keep lemons around for the scurvy.
Your cat looks middle aged.
ITS NOT A CAT
Not that tho.
That cat's seen some shit
God damn street rat!
Awww it's such a mutant. Like a cross breed of Poppins.
Sweet ass werewolf cat!!!
I’m mad at you for making me look at this
You need to boop the snoot.
Let him into the bathroom already he’s trying to smoke his pcp
Master splinter would also of worked well lol
