the Mau can also be quite a large breed. The big toms at F1/2 hybrid onwards tend to be sterile so they are more often sold as pets – despite their size and being 50-75% wildcat they are not aggressive towards their family and trustworthy humans. They are very dog-like in their attachments to families.
There’s also a warning to vets that these breeds do not react well with ketamine – they go into K-holes same as humans do and being intelligent do not like the loss of control this causes! This is why tiletamine and lorazepam (a benzodiazepine) is sometimes indicated in veterinary medicine.
