We were watching CATS 101 on the animal planet and we saw a cat called the Egyptian Mau (Mau is egyptian for cat). It has green eyes, spotted fur (kitty's fur is not spotted), large ears, and moon shaped eyes, and a tuft of fur near the lower stomach that helps them stretch further and run really fast (which kitty does not get the opportunity to do as she is always in a one bedroom apartment), their body is small and their back legs longer than the front, socially they are not very comfortable around other animals or loud humans and are very aware of noises or movement, which help them not get hurt outside, but indoors make them very skittish and quick to get up and leave when they hear anything, they also have a M shape on their forehead and what looks like eyeliner around the eyes.
Kitty has all of these things, so she must be at least part Egyptian Mau. She is more striped than spotted but everything else fits so well and it is comforting that her craziness is not all our fault and our choice not to get another kitty because she would completely freak out is just because her kind does not like other animals, and when she runs away from any loud noises it is just because that is what she does. Because of her crazy Egyptian Mau genes!
We feel special to have figured her out a little.
