Lykoi the werewolf cat breed

So I’m not going to be arguing because I’ve seen enough from enough owners over the years to have reached this conclusion, and I’m not in well enough health to come back to this. But I’m seeing the lykoi breed get more attention around tumblr lately, and I’ve gotta speak up because the breed has a dirty little secret.

I joined the Lykoi Lovers group years ago because I loved this breed, they’re super cute! I love werewolves! However, over the years, as more people got these cats, and their cats aged up (3-5 yo is when skin issues become REALLY evident) the group turned into a horror show.

This mutation really reminds me of lemon frost in leopard geckos. In the geckos, it was the desirable appearance which CAUSED the cancerous tumors. It wasn’t something that could be bred out. Similarly, it is the werewolf appearance which causes the skin issues, cysts, pimples, bleeding in the cats. You can breed away from it… and end up with a normal looking cat with fewer skin issues. You cannot seem to keep the werewolf look AND have good skin.

More below, and it IS graphic so be warned. Pus, blood, sad cats under the cut.

Keep reading

my chinese eink phone takes insanely good pictures in a way that's refreshingly different from american phones - i listened to this like two hour podcast a while back about how the arms race to put the best camera in phones is like, fucking up photography because the phones use AI to figure out what would look "best" and adjust the image automatically in ways that override the artistic eye of your average layman. but my A9 isn't particularly amazing in low light so i know the camera isn't like, iphone quality. but it DOES capture color very pleasantly, and it's crisp as fuck in sunlight, in a way that makes pics feel like they're analog. it makes it very fun to look at them in color later :3
