Before Buying That Egyptian Mau For Sale

By Douglas Baker


As you went around doing your daily duties you may have come a sign or advertisement which made you very interested. Printed on the sign were the words Egyptian mau for sale and this has definitely fueled your interest as you are currently in the market for a new feline companion. Before you do make the plunge and commitment for this breed, it may be a good idea to read up on it in this article so you can have more information.

The Egyptian mau can be said to be one of the more unique breeds in the feline world, in that it has wild markings. Its markings, which are made by naturally occurring spots and florets, make it look like a dark colored tree leopard or even a small lynx. It can also run quite fast, at around thirty miles an hour. This is half the speed of the cheetah, which can run at 60 miles per hour.

Many previous owners of the mau would swear to the fact that it will have springs instead of legs. This is due to it being able to do vertical high jumps quite easily and that it seems to be tireless in bouncing around. When keeping this breed in your house, ensure that it does have plenty of space to jump around in and that the place you keep it in does not have items that can be easily knocked around or broken.

These cats do require a lot of attention and crave it most of the time. They are generally gentle and reserved in their demeanor and are able to adjust to any family and home setting given the proper amount of love and care. Should they be groomed for competition in cat shows later on, it is best to socialize them early on in their life so they can get used to the presence of strangers and such.

May cat owners, or pet owners in general, believe that giving food and treats to show affection is okay. But this is a case that should not be done with the mau, as it will have the tendency to over eat. When it will get used to eating a lot of food, you must maintain the same amount of volume given or else it will actually refuse to eat if it feels it is not getting enough as it used to. Always use cuddles and hug s to show affection and not food.

As regards breeding this cat, it will have a long gestation period. This gestation period will last anywhere from sixty three to up to seventy days. If the gestation period lasts a few days longer, you should not be so alarmed, as this cat gives birth quite easily. Expect around an average of 2 litters per year if you decide to pair your cat.

Interestingly this is a cat that sings instead of purrs. When it is interested or curious about something ti will chirp and chortle. It will also do the same noise when it is happy to see you. This cat is naturally curious of its environment especially when it is young so a watchful eye is needed on it.

The breed is not a cheap breed to acquire either. A kitten will set you back anywhere from six hundred to a thousand dollars depending on bloodlines and such. Thus due to it being quite a high ticket item, you should know all about it before taking on the commitment and responsibility of living with one.
