Overview

Egyptian Mau

The Egyptian Mau is a rare and fascinating breed that claims direct lineage from the spotted cats worshipped in ancient Egypt. They are the only naturally spotted domestic cat breed and hold the title of fastest domestic cat, capable of running at speeds over 48 km/h. With their exotic spotted coat, striking gooseberry-green eyes, and regal bearing, Egyptian Maus are living links to one of history's greatest civilizations.

Tonkinese

The Tonkinese is a perfectly balanced blend of Siamese and Burmese, combining the best qualities of both breeds — the Siamese's vivid coloring and social nature with the Burmese's muscular build and mellow warmth. With their striking aqua eyes, silky coat, and charming personality, Tonkinese are engaging, medium-energy companions that bring joy without the intensity of their Siamese parent.
