An Egyptian Mau is a small to medium cat breed.^[1] The average Egyptian Mau weighs 8-14 pounds,^[2] and grows up to 8-10 inches.^[3] This cat is a modern domestic animal. It is a mix between a Burmese and a Siamese.

An Egyptian Mau has a muscular body with fur that comes in all different colors including black, bronze, smoke, silver, blue, and caramel. This cat’s eyes are gooseberry green, giving a worried look on its face.^[4]

Egyptian Maus have appeared famously a few times in popular culture, with one notable example being Midnight from the 2004 film Catwoman.

• Cat, one of the characters from CatDog, is an orange Egyptian Mau.
• A cat named Honeyfluff appears in some episodes of the series Kid vs. Kat. Although some sources state her as a Persian rather than a Mau, it is even harder to recognize her breed as a Bobtail or a pure-bred Mau.
