You had a cat named Horus! Was he Egyptian? My Horus is an Egyptian Mau, hence the name. He is way fat for a Mau; they are usually skinny. He is getting a drink from the fountain my son made (not for cat purposes, if Max saw it he would “psst” Horus).
Not Egyptian, no. He had black fur, but the undercoat was white, and extremely fine.
His littermate (which I also had) was Isis. She wasn’t nearly as unique as Horus was, but they were both regal and had large ears. They were too sweet to separate, so I kept them both.
My daughter still has the Mom...no-name. She is black, like Horus was, but has lost all her teeth and does nothing but sleep and yell for food. Of course, her yell is barely audible....poor ol’ thing. While the kittens died “early”, this ol’ gal is still hanging on. She must be close to 20, now.
