Egyptian Maus are known for their natural spots and muscular, medium-length body. Their hind legs are longer than the front, giving the Mau the appearance of standing on tiptoes when upright. They are the fastest of the domestic cats, capable of running more than 48 km/h (30 mph). Maus come in six colours: silver, bronze, smoke, black, caramel and blue/pewter. All Maus must have green eyes, but an amber cast is acceptable in kittens and young adults up to eighteen months old.
