Egyptian cat 3d printable model 3D print model

The Egyptian Mau, a small to medium-sized cat breed with short hair, stands out among domesticated cats due to its natural spots. These distinctive spots can only be found on the tips of its coat hairs. As a result of these unique traits, the Egyptian Mau is considered to be a rare breed.

Historical evidence suggests that the Mau originated in Egypt. The feline genome data, documented in the Pentascope, reveals a close relationship between the Egyptian Mau and other breeds such as the Maine Coon, Korat, and American Turkish Angoras. These breeds are virtually indistinguishable from native Turkish Angoras. The phylogenetic tree published in PlosOne further supports this, placing the Egyptian Mau within the group of Western-derived breeds. The East Mediterranean/Anatolian group is not included in this classification as breeds originating from that region do not exhibit the same characteristics.
