What is a Egyptian Mau cat?

The Egyptian Mau is one of the rarest breeds. I would like to bring them to your attention because I’m always stunned to find out how many people do not know about the Egyptian Mau cat!

They are VERY intelligent, super to train!, affectionate, seem to adore children, play with my small dogs and sleep with my husbands large breed dogs! The color of Egyptian Mau cats is stunning to put it mildly. My Maus have participated in cat shows both in the US and in Europe.

As far as the history of the Mau….The story goes like this.

The Egyptian Mau (which means “Egyptian cat”) Was once held as a Egyptian treasure and they would not allow the deporting of this rare breed of cat.. The Egyptians have drawings of this spotted breed on many of the pyramids and historic buildings walls. That is until back in the 50’s a exiled Princess from Egypt brought her Egyptian Maus here to the United States. And now we have the most beautiful Egyptian Maus right here in America!

And that is how the legend goes….

Here at Cattitude, I like to keep the kittens until they are close to 12-14 weeks of age to complete their vaccines, microchip, and basic worming. And we do give a written health guarantee on our contract.
