Personality: The Egyptian Mau is more than just a pretty face — they’re the whole package with a personality to match. Smart, friendly, gentle and fun, this breed is fiercely loyal to its family and gets along with children and other animals alike.
“Although the Egyptian Mau is an athletic breed, they are unique in that for them, home is where their human goes,” says Melanie Morgan, Egyptian Mau Breed Council Secretary with the Cat Fanciers’ Association and a breeder for more than 20 years. “As a result, they can happily get along in relatively small spaces, although ideally some extra space is nice. “
Egyptian Maus may bond more closely with one family member than others and are outgoing and very curious. While they make great companions, their curiosity, combined with their athletic ability and love of jumping, means they could easily get into trouble if you aren’t careful to cat proof their surroundings.
Personality: The Egyptian Mau is fiercely loyal to their people and gets along well with everyone, although they may be shy or reserved around strangers at first.
Behavior with Kids: This breed is extremely friendly and gentle, plus they are very smart and can be taught to do tricks, which kids love.
