One of the kittens in a litter of kittens has no hair, it turns out to be a wolf cat
In our inherent cognition, if the mother cat is an ordinary pastoral cat, most of the kittens born are also pastoral cats, and the colors are also the common types of us. Of course, there are exceptions. If one of the cat mothers' spouses is a cat of another breed (such as Siamese and English shorts), it is also possible to give birth to a kitten of the same breed as the cat father.
In short, these cats look almost beyond our cognitive range. But the kitten we are talking about today is quite special, it is called the "wolf cat". Recently, a netizen from Maine, USA uploaded a video of a cat mother and a kitten. The appearance of one of the kittens attracted the attention of netizens. The kitten is named Gracie. It has sparse hair and big and pointed ears, and looks a bit like a Sphinx cat (a hairless cat).
According to the cat's owner, Brie, she adopted two pregnant stray cats, one black cat and the other tabby. Both are more common pastoral cats. A few days later, the two cats gave birth to kittens, a total of 12. Brie raised the two mother cats and the 12 kittens as a big family. At the beginning, everything was normal. A week later, Bri noticed that in a litter of small black cats, one of the kittens looked weak and the hair began to fall off. This weak kitten is Gracie.
Brie immediately took Gracie to the veterinarian, who said: "The kitten has a little fever, and other than that, it is very healthy." Another week later, Gracie's physical condition did improve and the hair began to grow again. But soon, Brie discovered another problem: Gracie and its siblings didn't look like each other at all, and even looked a little strange. In addition to his peculiar appearance, Gracie's newly grown quilt is only a thin layer and sheds more times than other kittens. Brie, who was worried about the kitten's physical condition, took it to the hospital again, and the answer he got was still: the kitten is very healthy. Brie did some information to collect information and found that Gracie looked very similar to a cat called "Wolf Cat".
"Wolf Cat" is the offspring of hairless cats and black cats. Three animal breeders in Tennessee, USA, breed a hairless cat with a natural mutation gene and another domestic black shorthair cat, and gave birth to more than 10 cats of this new breed. They named this cat Lykoi (Greek, meaning "wolf cat"). After learning this, Brie began to take care of Gracie like she did with her hairless cat. Fearing that Gracie, who has thin hair, caught a cold, Brie also made small clothes for it.
Although some netizens said that the price of "wolf cats" is not expensive (about 3,000 US dollars), Brie's initial starting point was to give the two stray cat mothers and their unborn kittens a warm home. She didn't expect that there would be such a special kitten waiting for her. In response, Brie said: "As long as Gracie can grow up healthy and happy, it is enough." Although Gracie's appearance is not as cute as an ordinary kitten, it has gained a lot of fans, and netizens said: "The cat is so cool, it must be very handsome when it grows up."
It is a wonderful and lucky thing for the mother cat to meet Brie. With such a warm and dedicated owner, I believe that the mother cat and its children can grow up happily.
