Understanding Egyptian Maus Kittens For Sale

By Jennifer Morris


Egyptian Maus is a breed of short-haired cat breed with sizes ranging from small to medium. This breed of domesticated cats is one of the few breeds whose bodies are naturally spotted. Another naturally spotted breed is the Bahraini Dilmun cat. The spots on the coat do not extend deep into the hair, but instead, are only formed on the tips of the hair. When considering Egyptian Maus kittens for sale, the information in this article may be useful.

Egyptian Mau is a perfect balance of the slim elegance of Siamese and compactness of Burmese. They land on the hindquarters whenever they leap. Therefore, they exhibit a kangaroo-like appearance. They look like they are standing on tiptoes in as upright posture because the front legs are shorter compared to the hind legs.

The cat can run faster than any other domesticated cat. This is due to the flap of skin that originates from the flank and run to back knees. The animal is able to make longer strides because of that flap of skin. Top recorded speed exceeds 48 kilometers per hour.

The cat originated from Egypt and was imported to Italy where modern versions were bred. The breeding was done after 1952 and resulted in the production of the modern day variety. The name was derived from the Egyptian name mjw, which literally translates to cat in English. It has a close relationship to many other cats including American Turkish Angoras, Korat, and Maine Coon. There are attempts by breeders to produce cross-breeds of Maus and tabbies, Siamese, and Abyssinians among other breeds.

A Mau has a slender and muscular body type. According to the thinking of most researchers, they are one of the cats from which modern cats descended. There are significant anatomical, metabolic, and behavioral differences from other cats. An obvious anatomical difference is the difference in length of hindquarters and front legs. Similarly, bellies have a fold of skin while the upper side has a train running from head to tail. The differences are viewed as mere uniqueness or indicative of antiquity.

The words loyal and friendly are used to describe the personality of the cat. They show a lot of sensitivity to medicine, temperature, and anesthesia. Warm temperatures seem to be ideal for them. They gestate for 73 days, which is a very long period when compared to other cats. Other breeds only gestate for 65-67 days before giving birth. It is only Siamese that may go for 1-2 extra days beyond the maximum period. Foreheads are marked with the M mark.

The breed has distinct musical voices. They produce different sound when stimulated. Some of the sounds they commonly produce are chirping and chortling. Another common behavior is that both males and females wiggle and twitch their tails when happy. They change their facial expressions depending on the mood they are in. Also, eye color changes to turquoise from green.

This cat is one of the rarest cat breeds in the United States and the whole world over. A total of 6, 742 cats were under the register of the Cat Fancier Association in the US. Annually, less than 200 kittens get registered. The cats appear in five main colors, that is, bronze, silver, black, smoke, and blue.
