Native to Egypt

The Egyptian cat is an ancient breed, and there are graphic and text records of it on tombstones and scrolls in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.

As the name suggests, the Egyptian cat originated in Egypt. In the history of domestic cats, the Egyptian cat may be the earliest. 1400 years ago, images of spotted cats were painted on the walls of ancient Egyptian temples on the banks of the Nile. Murals and papyri from the ancient Egyptian era all depict cats that look like today's Egyptian cats. Egyptian cats were considered ordinary creatures during the reign of Constantine, in the 4th century AD, when they began to exist as ordinary small creatures. The Egyptian cat has spots on its body, and the formation of a fixed breed originated from a princess in the Mediterranean region in the 19th century. She liked a cat imported from Cairo very much, and mated it with an Italian cat to give birth to offspring. Later, the offspring of the cat were brought to the United States for reproduction, and were registered and exhibited in the United States for the first time the following year, and were generally welcomed by American families. Egyptian cats and Abyssinian cats are believed to be cat breeds raised by ancient Egyptians.

Egyptian cats are one of the original breeds of modern domestic cats. Because they are very different from other modern domestic cats in terms of body structure, growth and behavior, it can be seen that it is very old, or at least the habits of this breed are very special. Egyptian cats are very sensitive to temperature and like warm places very much. They are very sensitive to drugs and anesthetics.

Another very special thing about Egyptian cats is their eyes. Their eyes are usually light green, glass green or millet green. The color of the kitten's eyes will change with the change of mood. When it is happy, its eyes will become more and more green, and when it is angry, its eyes will turn amber. Therefore, the owner can judge its mood according to the change of its eye color.

Egyptian cats are smart and gentle, timid and fragile, have good memory, are very patient with children, and have a soft and beautiful voice. They are afraid of strangers and are suitable for family breeding. Egyptian cats are very smart and like to be close to responsible and caring owners. Many of these cat owners said that when they came home after a day's work, they would find their cats sitting in front of the door waiting for them eagerly.
