Egyptian Maus are a medium sized, well muscled, and moderately active cat breed. They are randomly spotted, while their legs and tails are banded. The Egyptian Mau's head is a slightly rounded wedge without flat planes, and their medium to large ears may be tufted. The cat breed's eyes are large, alert and almond shaped, with a slight slant. Egyptian Maus generally develop green eyes by 18 months of age. Mascara lines, a scarab mark on the forehead, and the large eyes give them a worried expression.
