Hai Sits,
I haven`t seen one also......... Why don`t you change your wish ....from Egyptian Mau to something like Bengal........Egy.Mau X ALC = Bengal. Also almost similar characteristics but different colour and pattern. For me,I think Bengal is much much more fascinating. Serval...........mahal tu............Ayam separuh setiap hari pulak tu............ bye.

Nice bengal... I think Bengal is a very wild and charming breed... especially the spotted pattern on the body.. I like the other breed too. Toyger.
IMO, E.Mau and Bengal/ toyger have the totally different feel on it..

~ Egyptain Mau ~
The Egyptian Mau is a fascinating cat, not only because of its past history, but because of its delightful personality and striking appearance. The name of the breed Mau derived from the Egyptian word for cat. Regarded by most registries as the only natural spotted breed of domestic cat, experts consider that mixed breeding with a sub species of wild cat was probably responsible for the unique coat pattern. Spotted cats were often depicted in ancient Egyptian wall paintings dating back over 3,000 years and many believe these to be the true ancestors of the Egyptian Mau. The ancient Egyptians held these cats in great affection and respect. They were worshipped as deities, cherished as pets, protected by laws, and mummified and mourned upon their death. Today's pedigree Mau stems from North America where it originated from cats imported by the exiled Russian princess, Nathalie Troubetskoy in 1956. In the past, all Egyptian Maus in the U.S. and Canada traced their ancestry to two of the original imports from her Fatima Cattery, but recent importations have enriched and broadened the available gene pool for breeders. Recognition for championship competition came in 1977. The Egyptian Mau is an active, colourful cat of medium size with well-developed muscles. It is a graceful mover described as having a "cheetah-like stride". The head is typically foreign, wedge shaped with rounded features, rather large ears, a moderately long nose and distinctive mascara lines. The elegant body is randomly spotted with banded legs and tail. Large, expressive almond eyes set under patterned frown marks create that "what-me-worry" expression which adds to the appeal of this pretty face. Males tend to be larger than females and also have fuller cheeks and are more muscular on the shoulders and round the neck. Despite the Mau's elegance, slim body, slender legs and dainty feet, this is a feline of tremendous strength. These athletic cats are considered the fastest breed of domestic cat. Maus have been clocked running over 30 mph. The coat length of the Egyptian Mau is technically described as "medium short". The fine texture enhances the characteristic lustrous sheen for which the Mau's coat is famous. Maus are very easy to groom requiring only minimum attention. The Egyptian Mau is a cat that likes company. Extremely intelligent cats, Egyptian Maus place a great importance on their human family and are noted for their fiercely loyal and passionate devotion to their owners. They are active cats that like to exercise, and many are quite amenable to training to a harness and lead. A Mau will also communicate by chortling in a soft melodious voice and with a characteristic wiggle of the tail while "kneading" with its soft paws and licking your face. Egyptain Mau owners know they have a very special cat in their alert, even-tempered Maus. The Egyptian Mau is always spotted and comes in three colours: bronze, silver and smoke. Bronze colour has dark brown to seal spots on a dark to lighter bronze background. Silver colour has black spots on a pure silver white background, with smoke colour having black spots on a smoke background. Coat colour can take up to 15 months to fully develop. The spots on an Egyptian Mau are random in their distribution over the body and vary in size as well as shape. They can be round, oval or irregular or a mixture of all three. Ideally the contrast between dark spots and ground colour should be distinct. Broken necklaces on the chest, buttons on the stomach and that all-important "M" on the forehead complete the pattern. Eyes are an expressive, almond-shaped beautiful gooseberry green and can take over a year to reach their full colour.

Waaaaah!!! Thank you everyone! The pictures of EM and Bengals are all beautiful!! I love spots.... hmm... And the info links are very useful too.
To Shakira... I ni harap angan je tinggi *laugh* Tapi reality lebih 'indah' dari mimpi^^ Kalau ada rezeki lebih and dapat tinggal rumah teres baru boleh fikir nak dapat this kind of cat. At the moment I nak tolong stray cat/kitten pun boleh setakat bagi makan saja.
