Lykoi cat
Lykoi 'werewolf' cats - 20 Oct 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rcud
It's close to midnight and something evil's mewing for some milk...
You might not appreciate one of these cats brushing against your leg unexpectedly on a dark night - they resemble mini werewolves.
Lykoi cats get their quirky looks from a naturally occurring Sphynx cat mutation mixed with black domestic shorthair.
Now the eye-catching - and spooky - appearance of the pussies have seen a new trend in breeding the type.
It is now being championed by a group of breeders spearheaded by Tennessee-based Lykoi specialist Johnny Gobble and his family.
Mr Gobble, a practicing Veterinarian, says the first litter was born in July 2010.

LEOPARD SPOTTED IN LONDON - Nat Geo 'WILD' unleashed the first ever realistic animatronic leopard, which was spotted roaming the streets of London in the early hours of this morning. The leopard has been created to mark the start of Big Cat Week and raise awareness about serious threats to the habitats of big cats, and their dwindling numbers. Leopards are faced with up to 90% habitat loss, finding themselves roaming urban streets in places like Mumbai. The animatronic has been created by John Nolan Studio, the team behind animatronics for Harry Potter, 'Spy in the Wild' and many more. Big Cat Week airs on Nat Geo 'WILD' from 6-12 March with U.K. premiere episodes each night at 8pm.

Hong Kong’s shop cats
Your office job is tough. You have to wake up early, stare at a screen all day, and sometimes the kettle breaks and you can’t make a cup of tea.
But spare a thought for the real hard-workers.
We’re talking, of course, about the cats of Hong Kong.
Every day, these hard-working felines wake up, stroll out of their little cat baskets, and get stuck in to a hard day working up front in their shop.
Their days are spent tirelessly looking adorable, greeting customers, hunting mice, making sales, and ensuring high standards of cleanliness (mostly through licking, but still).
It’s tough work, but someone’s got to do it. And these cats are entirely dedicated to their work, always willing to stay late and make sure everything’s taken care of – even if that means napping behind the till.
One photographer is taking the time to bring light to these unappreciated hard-workers, with a new photo series called Hong Kong Shop Cats.
As part of his ongoing Chinese Whiskers series, photographer Marcel Heijnen has been documenting the lives of cats living and working in shops around Hong Kong.
Originally from the Netherlands, Marcel was immediately drawn to Hong Kong’s shop cats when he moved to the city – but he never thought they would become the focus of his next project.
Marcel describes Hong Kong Shop Cats as a ‘total fluke’.
‘I moved back to Hong Kong after 18 years and found myself living without cats for the first time in 40 years,’
‘So when I noticed a cat sitting proudly on the counter of a shop nearby my new place in the Sheung Wan/Sai Ying Pun area, I went over to pet it and took a few casual photos.
‘I shot a few more of other shop cats nearby and put them on Facebook.’
Of course, the reaction online was overwhelmingly positive. People loved the first few photos, and publishing house AsiaOne (who’d published Marcel’s last book, Residue) took interest, suggesting that Marcel should make these cats the f

As part of his ongoing Chinese Whiskers series, photographer Marcel Heijnen has been documenting the lives of cats living and working in shops around Hong Kong.

‘I shot a few more of other shop cats nearby and put them on Facebook.’
Of course, the reaction online was overwhelmingly positive. People loved the first few photos, and publishing house AsiaOne (who’d published Marcel’s last book, Residue) took interest, suggesting that Marcel should make these cats the f

One photographer is taking the time to bring light to these unappreciated hard-workers, with a new photo series called Hong Kong Shop Cats.
As part of his ongoing Chinese Whiskers series, photographer Marcel Heijnen has been documenting the lives of cats living and working in shops around Hong Kong.
Originally from the Netherlands, Marcel was immediately drawn to Hong Kong’s shop cats when he moved to the city – but he never thought they would become the focus of his next project.
Marcel describes Hong Kong Shop Cats as a ‘total fluke’.
‘I moved back to Hong Kong after 18 years and found myself living without cats for the first time in 40 years,’
‘So when I noticed a cat sitting proudly on the counter of a shop nearby my new place in the Sheung Wan/Sai Ying Pun area, I went over to pet it and took a few casual photos.
‘I shot a few more of other shop cats nearby and put them on Facebook.’
Of course, the reaction online was overwhelmingly positive. People loved the first few photos, and publishing house AsiaOne (who’d published Marcel’s last book, Residue) took interest, suggesting that Marcel should make these cats the f

Hong Kong’s shop cats
Your office job is tough. You have to wake up early, stare at a screen all day, and sometimes the kettle breaks and you can’t make a cup of tea.
But spare a thought for the real hard-workers.
We’re talking, of course, about the cats of Hong Kong.
Every day, these hard-working felines wake up, stroll out of their little cat baskets, and get stuck in to a hard day working up front in their shop.
Their days are spent tirelessly looking adorable, greeting customers, hunting mice, making sales, and ensuring high standards of cleanliness (mostly through licking, but still).
It’s tough work, but someone’s got to do it. And these cats are entirely dedicated to their work, always willing to stay late and make sure everything’s taken care of – even if that means napping behind the till.

Lykoi 'werewolf' cats - 20 Oct 2015
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/rcud
It's close to midnight and something evil's mewing for some milk...
You might not appreciate one of these cats brushing against your leg unexpectedly on a dark night - they resemble mini werewolves.
Lykoi cats get their quirky looks from a naturally occurring Sphynx cat mutation mixed with black domestic shorthair.
Now the eye-catching - and spooky - appearance of the pussies have seen a new trend in breeding the type.
It is now being championed by a group of breeders spearheaded by Tennessee-based Lykoi specialist Johnny Gobble and his family.
Mr Gobble, a practicing Veterinarian, says the first litter was born in July 2010.
