Egyptian Mau
Spotted, fast, and the only naturally spotted domestic cat.
Maus are athletic, vocal, and require a household that keeps up. Their spots are natural (unlike Bengal, which is hybrid). They live 12–15 years.
What makes them, them
- 6–14 lb adult; short spotted coat.
- Generally healthy.
- Top sprint speed ~30 mph — fastest domestic cat.
- Vocal: chirps and trills.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Catio strongly recommended; indoor-only without enrichment becomes destructive.
- Microchip + Boop breakaway tag — Maus escape via screens regularly.
- Lock window screens.
How Boop helps Egyptian Maus stay home
