I have had my cat Hermes for almost 2 years now. I have recently been led to believe that I may have a bronze Egyptian Mau. He is completely spotted except for the lower legs and the stripe down his back and stripes on his tail. He has the black lining around his green eyes with the two mascara lines. He also the pouch on his belly and his rear legs are longer than his front legs and he is full grown but noticeably smaller than most fully grown cats. He also sticks his tail up and twitches it when he is getting ready to take a nap, and does a ton of chittering/crazy bird noises. And he loves to scratch/kneed the floor in front of him.
A co worker of mine has basically been telling me that he can't be a Mau because they are rare and I adopted my cat from an animal shelter(he had no other's from his litter with him). She is telling me that he is just your average domestic short hair, but I cannot seem to find any domestic shorthair with his markings.

Those aren't all that updated but he looks virtually the same just slightly bigger and more pronounced spots.
Either way he is my bestest bud. I am just trying to learn more about him.
