There are so many different types of cats being looked after and one of them is a natural mutation from a domestic shorthair cat of a classic Hollywood werewolf and is called the Lykoi or the Werewolf cat. It has partial hairlessness.
Right from Persian cats, Calico cats, Siamese cats. Maine Coon cats, British shorthair cats, Sphynx cats; there are many breeds of cats. The ironic factor is that only 2% cats are pedigree cats or purebred cats. All they really are just fur dolls and Internet stars!
However, did you know that in ancient Egypt, cats were considered as sacred and were known commonly by the name of ‘Mau’.

This popularity with cats on the Internet has been raging over the Internet for many years – right from 2012 when people used to dress up cats with BREAD and promoting that through blogs across the Internet.
Breading: At one point of time, there was this absurd trend of dressing cats in bread and promoting that on blogs. The whole idea was to think that you had a walking sandwich and that particular page even gained over 10,000 fans.
Interesting, but true: Did you even know that Abraham Lincoln was the first President who brought cats in the white house and Earnest Hemingway was a natural cat lover!
