Egyptian Mau Cat, it is a repetition, in truth, because "Mau" in Egyptian means cat, but let's see it as a way to reiterate the pride with which this breed makes it known that it is one of the oldest in the world. There are those who even believe that it is the Egyptian Mau Cat the direct and only descendant of the cat revered by the ancient Egyptians: there are still no certainties about this but it cannot be denied the evidence.
That of elegant body shape of this animal that makes it look a lot like theAbyssinian, not to mention its elegant and graceful demeanor, which is typical of most oriental cats. In the heap, this one stands out because smaller and more robust.
Egyptian Mau Cat: characteristics

In truth there are several types, the pewter gray one, the bronze one with chocolate spots, the silver one with black or dark gray spots and, finally, the smoke version. They are not out of standard but very rare, the specimens of Egyptian Mau Cat red and dark gray. The coat, color aside, is always short, shiny, silky.

Egyptian Mau cat: character
A little shy and not particularly expansive with those who don't know, the Egyptian Mau Cat on the other hand, he is lively and playful when he is at ease, at home, in the family. Indeed, rather wild, I would say, in fact it needs adequate space to climb and release energy, and also to meow free, soundly.
Besides loving the game, he also loves being with people, so if he remains alone for many hours he suffers and it is not certain that he does not take revenge on some sofa left unattended, but when we return he welcomes us affectionately and is immediately ready, without any rancor or sense of guilt, it is to be pampered. In the family. usually, he elects his best friend and follows him, courts him and assists him everywhere, from room to room.
This cat is therefore perfect for those who are not looking for an animal that lazes and purrs but a interacting cat, plays, proposes and desires a role in the family, if not as a protagonist, as a co-star.

Egyptian Mau Cat: price
As with less common breeds, let alone those as beautiful as this one, the price is by no means low. A specimen of Egyptian Mau Cat it can cost over 1,200-1,300 euros. I'm not exaggerating at all, believe me! There are few of them around, and having one is one real luck. As well as a pleasure, if you can afford it.
The only observation and point of attention on prices that are too low that must make us suspicious and not rejoice. If we find a Mau cat half the price is not a good sign and you should contact our veterinarian for help in evaluating the deal, it could be "fake" or a cat abused and illegally placed on the market.
