Egyptian Mau
The Egyptian Mau is one of the oldest breeds of domestic felines, dating back to 1400 B.C. Drawings of spotted cats can be seen in the tombs of Egyptian
pharaohs. In 1956, three Egyptian Maus were brought to the United States by an exiled Russian princess and became the foundation for the breed.
