Summary
About Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau is a rare, naturally spotted, medium‑sized cat with a muscular, athletic build and vivid green almond eyes. Loyal and sensitive, it bonds closely with one person, is active, agile, and vocal in a soft, musical way, needing regular play, gentle handling, and low‑stress routines.
About Scottish Fold
