An Egyptian Mau sits here surrounded by the ancient writings that tell of the temple's origin, the cat Goddess Bast, the mau, all cats, and the Mau, her sacred spotted cats © 1993 Leslie Newcomer HISTORY       The History of the Egyptian Mau is long and steeped in legend. From the times of ancient Egypt where a small North African desert cat started sharing space with man, finally becoming domesticated (or was it the man...?) and a loving companion.       We will add to this page in the future, however in the mean time visit CFA and the catteries on our links page to get the history of the wonderful cat.       Until then, remember, though the cat started in ancient times, many of the traits of this ancient cat survive in the kittens of today...
