Well they're actually named after the Egyptian word for cat, which is kind of obvious really, but still kind of cool

Did you know that? You did?

She is just a fountain of knowledge, isn't she

Hi guys! Welcome back it's Claire and Rags! And as promised this video

is going to be something really fun! I have some of top facts for you about breed

of cats the Arabian Mau. Now my mom and dad just come back from living out

in the UAE and they brought back three cats with them. Now two those cats Mollie and Lottie

are Arabian Maus and there are such a lovely beautiful breed and really very

interesting so the Rags and I are going to be showing you five top facts about Arabian Maus

First fact - Arabian Maus don't wear vests! Just hear me out

I know it sounds silly, but Arabian Maus are from a hotter climate like a lot of

desert cats and so they don't have an under layer of skin like most cats do so

they don't have an undercoat they just have the one layer of fur. This helps

them keep cool in the hot desert climate and also means that they can regulate

their temperature a bit better now the undercoat cat is sometimes named a vest

so that's why I said they don't wear a vests, so I wasn't wrong! Well the fact that

they don't have an undercoat or a vest means that they can withstand hotter

temperatures than usual cats, but it does mean that they feel the cold a bit more - so

So mom and dad's cats coming back from the United Arab Emirates coming back to

the UK will feel the cold so you just need to get them a nice collection of lovely jumpers

Now did you know that Arabian Maus are what is known as a landrace or a natural breed

This means that the country that they are native to

is where they've become domesticated so they haven't been brought in from other

countries as domesticated pets they are wild animals that are native to the

country and have become domesticated in their own country

this means that they have been around for a very long time and in actual fact

Arabian Maus are one of the oldest cat breeds in the world they've been around

for over a thousand years now Arabian Maus are known as being really

talkative and I mean really really talkative my mom and dad's cats are so

loud especially in the middle of night which is super

Now Arabia Maus are characterized as having em a lot of vocal range and being very vocal cats

now I'm not sure why this is but it could be linked to the fact that they

have quite high energy. Now that might come across is them being quite

demanding but in the fact is they just really like to yowl and hollow around

the house maybe they're looking for one another or maybe they're just like

normal cats just want to get fed again

Now Arabian Maus are known for being very active and they are very very healthy as well

Some cat breeds do come with their own health issues but them being a landrace and having been

around for a long time they are known to be quite hardy and very healthy cats

They also have a lot of energy as I mentioned before so they are really

well-suited to families that can give them a lot of attention and play with

them a lot and interact with them a lot they get along well with other pets so

other cats and they seem to be quite good to get along with dogs too

and finally Arabian Maus are such a beautiful breed and they have some real

special characteristics about them now you'll notice that their ears are quite

wide and large and this helps them to keep cool in the hotter climate they

also have really long legs are very noticeable as you can see in this video

here of Molly one of my mom's cats. Now they tend to have lovely pointy little

faces and their tails are usually quite tapered at the end so they can be quite

expressive with their tails. Their coloring is mostly a mix of black white

grey and red and this is because they can camouflage in the desert really well
