Egyptian Mau Breed Description Egyptian Maus are a medium-sized short-haired cat breed. They are the only naturally spotted breed of domesticated cat. The spots on an Egyptian Mau are not just on the coat; a shaved Mau has spots on its skin. Egyptian Maus are the fastest breed of domestic cat, capable of running at 36 mph. Maus are more temperature sensitive than most breeds - they are fond of very warm temperatures. Maus often possess very musical voices. They are known to chirp, chortle and emit other distinctly unusual vocalizations when stimulated. Another behavior, quite common in happy Maus, has been described as "wiggle-tail." [Much more on this breed can be learned at the wonderful Wikipedia.]
