Temperament
The Egyptian Mau is best summed up as fast, loyal, alert. Expect a cat that's right in the middle of everything you do, mostly in comfortable silence. Chaos rating 4/5 means secure your shelves — this one treats your home as a platformer level.
Care Notes
Grooming: Minimal effort. A weekly once-over plus nail trims covers it. Exercise: with sky-high energy, plan two or more real play sessions a day plus vertical space — cat trees, shelves, window perches. Health: keep up annual vet visits, dental care, and weight watch; ask your vet about screening common to the breed line.
