Also known as the “Pharaoh Cat,” the 3,000-year-old Egyptian Mau is the fastest domestic cat. Using its sizeable primordial sac (the loose skin found between a cat’s knees and belly) that allows for longer strides and more agility, this Egyptian feline can reach speeds of up to 30 mph — that’s a bit less than half as fast as a cheetah!

Egyptian Maus thrive when doing things on their own, but that doesn’t mean that they enjoy the affection of their person any less.
