Lykoi Cat Names: 80+ Werewolf, Roan & Gothic Names for the Wolf Cat
The Lykoi is the werewolf cat: a natural genetic mutation in domestic shorthairs that produces patchy hairlessness and a roan coat, where black hairs mix with white unpigmented ones the way they do on a roan horse. The grizzled, masked face around the eyes and muzzle is what earns the nickname, and the name itself comes from the Greek lykos, wolf. This is a young, rare breed, founded in Tennessee in 2011 by Johnny and Brittney Gobble with Patti Thomas, after veterinary dermatologists and DNA tests ruled out disease and the Sphynx and Devon genes. Black roan is the signature color and the only one TICA accepts for championship. This guide builds name lists around what makes a Lykoi a Lykoi, not generic grey color theory: werewolf and lycanthrope names, grizzled roan-coat names, gothic and spooky names, full-moon and night names, and a few science nods to the mutation. Every linked name is one we actually keep. Name the roan, not the baldness.
