name cat in Egyptian Qett (male) Qetta (female) بالعربي: قط او قطة

[@chriss1683]

I rescued one of these beautiful cats from a shelter about a year ago knowing nothing about the breed. Those big beautiful eyes caught my attention in the community room and now its history. I love her and her breed so much

[@angiemac3587]

I have a Mau. She is fast and very smart. She likes to play fetch and beg for treats when she knows it's treat time. 😺🐾😎

[@monapause8108]

I adopted a kitten at a veterinarian clinic in 2002. someone had abandoned a pregnant Egyptian Mau there because she got outside and got pregnant. I adopted one of the kittens and his father must have been a very large cat because he was very long and tall. when he stood on his hind legs, he could touch the countertop in the kitchen. he looked like his Mau mom, though. he would jump very high and pull birds right out of the air. he is also the only cat I'd ever had who chuffed like a wild cat. he lived to be 17 years old. I miss him. he was my big green eyed sonny boy. his name was Larry. one of his "titles" I called him was "Pharaoh Lawrence the Great". 😻

omg i call my mau my sunny boy bc he loves the sunshine! he also has the most beautiful green eyes. I hope to have as many wonderful years with him as you did with your boy RIP to Larry

@@daniellew.9957 I called mine, Sonny Boy because he was my son. I miss him. I hope yours lives as long as Larry did. his predecessor lived to be 22.

My cat, Spike, was an Egyptian mau mix. His mother was a purebred, and his dad must've been a regular tabby cat. Spike was HUGE, like your cat he could reach the countertop if he stood on his hind legs. Really something. He didn't have the total look of an Egyptian mau, but he had all the behaviors of one.

I own a purebred Bengal, I had no idea all of there traits came back from the Egyptian Mau

[@No-BS1369]

I found my Daisy at the county animal shelter. Neither I nor the shelter knew anything about her breed. I got her for a donation of $35! I’m a cat lover and she’s still a kitten, but she’s so unique and so sweet. Definitely also quick like lightning and she loves to play and splash water with me from the kitchen sink.

[@SuperDodo-Vo]

We still have a special relationship with cats in Egypt. Btw they were called Maus In ancient Egypt but now (Qett or Qetta (female) ) Slang (Otta) in Egypt And I have a clever crazy Mau called (Zozo) cats are everywhere in the Egyptian streets and houses .. and soon I will release a video about Maus IN Ancient Egypt ... great job guys thanks for your Effort

[@equatordominator3744]

[@mattgibbs2293]

That's really interesting.👍

[@desperanzza]

I adopted him from a family that brought him from a shelter in Dubai, to Sweden. But he was not happy in their home, with dogs and small kids. So he moved to us, as an only cat. We have some outdoor living bunnies, he loves to watch them and pet them through the fence, but we do not let them hang out. A very special little guy. Almost a doglike energy.

[@Eloh_Dragons]

I love my mau. He’s the best cat ever.

[@therealmitch-a-palooza7262]

Hello there! I spy my cat "Djinn" at 3:37 .... he turned 5 years old just a few days ago. That was him as a 6 month old kitten, only 2 weeks after I adopted him. It took him until then to finally come out of "his" room and interact with me.

[@cindyhopkins3989]

Good video

[@Cat_Nation]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@RedCanyonWolf]

I got a kitten at the shelter and she was so peculiar shaped and so fast and I suspected she was part Egyptian Mau… we did basepaws dna and it turned out she WAS part Egyptian mau!

[@johnpluta1768]

The Egyptian Mau arrived in the US by an exiled Russian Grand Duchess. It was to her credit that her efforts in saving this exotic cat breed.

[@JamieNotLamie]

Yep.. We all watched the same video that just said that and more but thanks bud. 👍

[@twatsone6030]

@@sorar0 wow I got one from inside of a concrete wall someone left him there and he was too young to even jump off and scavenge. It was deteriorating he was in one of many holes.

In Indonesia Egyptian Mau so expensive and rare breeding like Sand Cat from middle east 🙄

[@Barlosh96]

I found mine in a alley just lost from her mom

[@Argonaut1621NC]

Just doubtful it’s a pure bred. I have one that was left on my front porch. She has all those traits but I imagine she’s a mix.

[@mrmr80doba]

They are not rare , they are everywhere here in Egypt,, they are in all streets, houses .Egyptians loves them

[@JamieNotLamie]

I've heard Egyptians themselves say they are hard to find there but that I don't know. What I do know is that they are absolutely rare in pretty much the rest of the world, including the US here. It's definitely considered an exotic breed. But if they're starting to thrive in Egypt, that's great! I hope we start to see more and more of them. It was only in the 2nd world war when they went almost extinct so that's amazing that all those efforts really saved them and they're coming back.
