Description The Egyptian Mau cats are true beauties. Their contrasting coat pattern is unique to each animal. Clearly defined eyes and stripes in the shape of the letter M adorn their face. The primary colors can be bronze, silver, or smoke. Other shades may indicate breed defects. On their sharp face, green eyes and a broad nose stand out. Kittens may have different eye colors, but in adults, it is always green. The ears are set wide apart and slightly rounded at the top. The body is slender but strong. The weight of cats of this breed ranges from 4.5 to 6 kilograms. Females are generally smaller, while males are more massive. Character Traits The Egyptian Mau cats are known for their loyalty to their owner. They usually choose their owner themselves and remain devoted to them throughout their lives. These animals are very curious and active, capable of playing and exploring the house for hours. To keep the cat occupied and protect your belongings, it is advisable to purchase a variety of toys for it. The Egyptian Mau has retained its hunting instinct and may hunt slippers, legs, or other moving objects. Outside, they will not return without a catch, whether it be a mouse or a small bird, which they bring to their owner as a sign of love. At home, the Mau loves to climb to high places to observe what is happening. To attract attention, the cat begins to meow, although its sounds are more reminiscent of a low rattle or purring. The Egyptian Mau is very curious. If something is forbidden to it, it will always find a way to bypass the prohibition. Even a closed refrigerator will not be an obstacle. These cats do not conflict even with dogs and can play with any partners. They sleep during the day and hunt at night. Feeding and Care Caring for Egyptian Mau cats is not difficult. It is necessary to periodically carry out hygiene procedures and select high-quality balanced food. It is also important to regularly visit the veterinarian for health checks and vaccinations. You can feed the cat both with ready-made food and natural food. In the latter case, you should not give it leftovers from the owners' meals, as they may contain preservatives, salt, and sugar, which negatively affect health. It is advisable to accustom the pet to hygiene procedures from an early age. Although brushing is usually liked by everyone, trimming nails and cleaning ears can be unpleasant. At first, it may be necessary to hold the cat by its paws.
