Hi Jan, that’s worrying. I removed the sentence you’re referring to and can see that this article is in need of rewriting. Putting it on our list of articles to update now. Thank you!

We have two silver Egyptian Maus, a brother and a sister. They were born on a December 5th, 2010,
And a when they were little, I had them on Precise, but they got tired of it , so I switched them to wellness cat food, after a few years on that they got tired of it, so I switched them to natures variety,
They loved it, especially the turkey, turkey and chicken, then I noticed that they started itching and shaking their heads, and my Ramesses Boy shook his head so much that he had a hematoma, I really didn’t realize that it was the peas and eggs in the cats food, the only dry food I feed them is Instinct by Nature’s Variety Ultimate Protein Grain-Free Cage-Free Chicken Recipe Dry Cat Food. I have been trying to find another food that has a raw coating like natures variety, I did try another brand and they hated it, I have tried freeze dried food, and I am slowly getting them use to it, by hiding it in their wet food. If you don’t mind me asking what food do you feed your three Egyptian Maus ?

Sylvie, although 13 years old, is a spry, spunky, “alpha” cat who can still run down squirrels. No, I don’t let her keep them. I don’t let her put anything in her mouth unless I know where it’s been. Oh, by the way, Egyptian Mau’s are short hair cats, do not have ear tufts and only have bushy tails when they get excited or frightened.

Hubby is Sylvie’s person. She is SO attached to him she even goes out to his wood working shop to be with him. All three cats are strictly indoor cats. Sylvie goes on supervised walks around the front yard shrubbery when the weather isn’t rainy, with her Person, of course.

Nyxxi is nine years old and she is my watcher. Nyxxi can always be found up on things, the highest ledge on the cat tree, on top of my kitchen cabinets and the fire place mantle. She watches over me and has even waken me from nightmares. She’s my special girl.

Ramzy just turned two and is the family funny guy. He is amazing. He loves to play fetch, he loves to play period. I have toys for him in almost every room of the house. He loves his toys and will spend a whole afternoon playing with a ball and a sheet of brown shipping paper. He also has a stuffed bunny he carries around the house meowing to the bunny as it is being carried. He is a little love.

I keep dry food out for the kitties all day because cats are nibblers by nature. However, Ramzy wakes me up between 7 and 8 in the morning for his breakfast. Breakfast consists of a little dry food mixed with half a can of his wet food. The other half is covered and put in the cabinet for a little later, this boy is a real eater. When Hubby get up three or four hours after I do, he then gives Ramzy the other half of his food. Mid evening between 4:30 and 6 all three cats split a can of wet food and that’s it for the day.

I wish you guys had a place for pictures. I would love to share with you the World of the Mau!
