Egypt
The Egyptian Mau is the only naturally spotted domestic cat, with a lithe, athletic body and striking green “gooseberry” eyes. Its short, silky coat features distinctive spots on a silver, bronze, or smoke background. The breed’s expressive face and cheetah-like gait give it an exotic, regal presence.
The Egyptian Mau’s short, spotted coat is easy to care for—weekly brushing keeps it sleek and reduces shedding. They are naturally clean, but routine nail trims and ear checks are still important for overall health.
Egyptian Maus are active, loyal, and intelligent. They form strong bonds with their families, enjoy play with children, and are generally accepting of other pets if introduced properly.
Athletic and fast, Egyptian Maus need plenty of exercise—think laser pointers, fetch, and climbing trees. Their sharp minds benefit from puzzle feeders and games that challenge their hunting instincts.
