As Seen on Foot

More 'hood cats!

Spike
He's a Lykoi, and lives in my neighborhood but this is my first time meeting him and his humans.
They are training him to walk on a leash.

Stray kitten, who is cared for.

Unknown alley cat...yes, that's a real alley!

A chill owned cat; I hope to discover her name, but haven't worked up the nerve to just knock on the door and ask.

Friends, it amazes me how many new, not-seen-before cats that I meet day in and day out in my 'hood.

At least I consistently have material for new posts.

Postcards from Meow MeetUp: Lykoi

Lykoi is a Brand New Breed of Cats

Sorry, my photos are so poor, but...kittens!

I spent some time with a breeder of Lykoi cats, from Wisconsin.  She displayed the kittens in the Cat Fanciers Association area at Meow MeetUp Chicago in July.

Seriously, these are kittens...adorable, playful baby cats, with a little or no underfur.  Therefore, some parts of their skin is exposed, especially around their face and paws.  According to what I've researched, this was an natural mutation.  Their fur is soft, and that warm skin just completely melted my heart!

After only a few moments, I fell in LURV!

I am proud to say that my favorite breed is RESCUED, but I'll always have a fillip of desire for a Lykoi cat, now that I've played with these two.  They are beautiful, unique, and I am so glad that I had the chance to meet them in the fur...skin...well, you know what I mean!

I have the contact information for the breeder; actually, we chatted for a good long while.
