The Standard states that ‘The
Egyptian Mau is an elegant cat of moderate, foreign type
characterised by a random spotted pattern seen both in tabby and
smoke colours, and a unique ‘worried’ look. This facial expression
is generated by large, gooseberry-green eyes set beneath a level
brow and on either side of the parallel lines of the nose. The Mau
is an active, well balanced, medium-sized cat with a strength and
hard muscular feel that belies its graceful build. Males tend to be
larger than females.’ Head: A slightly rounded wedge without flat planes and of medium length. Not full-cheeked, but allowance should be made for jowls in adult males. Profile shows a gentle contour with a slight rise from the bridge of the nose to the forehead, which flows back into the arched neck without a break. Entire length of nose of uniform width when viewed from the front. The muzzle should flow into the contours of the head, it should be gently rounded, neither square and boxy nor pointed. The chin should be firm with a level bite. Tail: Medium length, moderately thick at the base and tapering slightly. |
