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 Thai
The Thai is a moderate, old-style Siamese with a muscular medium build, blue eyes, and low-maintenance pointed coat. Social, vocal, and intelligent, it craves daily interaction, play, and climbing. Generally healthy, it may face PRA, HCM, and dental issues, so regular vet care is important.
