They also are known for their "worried" expression thanks to their large bright green eyes and level brows. They also have lines that run either side of their noses which adds to their exotic looks. Male Egyptian Maus are typically larger than their female counterparts but both have slightly wedge-shaped rounded heads with males having more of a jowl than females. Seen in profile they have a slight contour from their foreheads down to the bridge of their noses. Muzzles are nicely rounded and chins are firm with cats having a level bite.

Contractors • Heaven's Gate • Hell's Gate • List of Abilities • Messier Code • Moratoria • Obeisance Maus often possess very musical voices. They are known to chirp, chortle, and emit other distinctly unusual vocalizations when stimulated. [18] Another behavior, quite common in happy Maus, has been described as "wiggle-tail." The cat, whether female or male, wiggles and twitches its tail, and appears to be marking territory, also known as spraying, but during this behavior the Mau is not releasing urine. Playful and curious when at home with family, the Egyptian Mau cat can be cautious or standoffish with strangers. These stunning cats are highly intelligent, with a reputation for using their musical voices to make conversation with their favorite people.Vocal Mimicry: In addition to his talent of disguise, Mao Mao is an excellent voice impersonator and can perfectly mimic others' voices after practice. Mao Mao first used this ability in "Not Impressed", while wearing a Chubbum costume to impress Ol' Blue. He used it again in " Outfoxed" when he was wearing an Adorabat costume to catch Rufus and Reggie in the act of their scams. stray to one is a pet to the next. Taming wild animals is the lure of both cats and women, and humans like conquest. Figure 20. Here is a similar scenario as in Figure 19, yet the definitions are more predictable. “Field” plus “strength, power” yields “male” in both orientations, unlike above where “female” plus “field” had very different meanings depending upon orientation. (“Power” 力is really a “knife” 刀 with an aspect line, and is probably, at its root, a “penis,” the ultimate expression of power: to procreate). Pedigreed Egyptian cats were bred in Europe prior to the second World War, but few records survive. Like many cat breeds, the Egyptian Mau was nearly extinct by the end of World War II; food shortages and widespread devastation led to tragedy for pets all throughout the affected regions. Tanya Keys (voiced by Ming-Na Wen), a female tanuki and former lover of Mao Mao's who makes a living as a bounty hunter. She loves to mess with him, but wants him to be more carefree like her, despite Mao Mao's disgust of her being a vigilante rather than a hero. Just like in legends, she has the ability to transform herself and leaves into people and objects.

The head appears round but is slightly longer than broad. The nose is slightly concave curved when viewed in profile. The whisker pads are clearly pronounced, with a slight pinch. The chin is very firm. The eyes are slightly oval, large and slightly slanted. The cat may have any normal cat eye color. There is no relation between the eye and coat colors. Usually, Arabian Maus have bright green eyes. The ears are large, slightly forward and sideward-placed, a little long, and high-set on the skull. [2] Nailing” is a key phrase, pinning them down and making them bear your babies. It’s all about reproducing because that’s how a culture survives. You can see this focus on reproduction in the table below ( Figure 11). If you take the Hanzi character for “cat” and swap the animal radical 豸 for “female” 女 you get “pretty girl.” A pretty girl makes for a stable home life (theoretically) because she will bear you (the alpha male) children. Miao2苗 represents stability because cultivated land is stable. Plants stay where you last left them because they have roots there; animals stay because someone cares for them and stables them; consequently, they produce offspring or copies. If you swap “female” for “hand” 扌, you get “copy” or “to trace” because now the hand is making the reproduction, not the woman. If you swap that same character for “metal” jin1金 (that’s the shine of ore you see under the mountain), you get “anchor,” because “metal plus stability equals anchor.” If “eye” mu4目 goes before the miao2苗 character, the meaning becomes “aim” because a steady eye is needed for a good shot. Steel Wing (voiced by Tommy Blacha), a wyvern with literal metal wings. Fell off the ship due to his wings being too heavy for flight. He is known to snore when he sleeps, and the sound of his snore is very similar to the pronunciation of his own name. Linguists allow that there are similar-sounding words for some concepts across all cultures, but these congruencies are considered insignificant because they have their origin in onomatopoeia or else they fall into the category of “baby talk.” Wouldn’t those early words of children, uttered before the culture has had a chance to take a firm hold, more clearly suggest the origins of language? Should we discount words simply because they fall into the category of “too obvious”? Consider: Over the last 5,000 years humans have fought wars over religion, women, and body modification—but we agree on the word for “cat”? An irrelevant coincidence some linguists might say.Rufus (voiced by Julian Barratt), a sly and cunning fox who swindles the Sweetypies of Pure Heart Valley.

The Egyptian Mau Rescue Organization (EMRO) was an agency for the adoption, both locally and internationally, of tame Maus born in the Middle East. Supported solely by private and corporate donors, EMRO aimed to increase education in Egypt and around the world about the cats. It closed in 2017. [20] Figure 49. Though the depiction and sound are different for these two Sumerian words which mean “cat,” the concept is the same: cats have an association with destruction, and they are fertile. The Egyptians were well known not only as lovers of cats but also as worshipers of them. In the "Book of the Dead," Ra, the God of the Sun, is portrayed as a spotted tabby cat. He is depicted in Egyptian art as slaying the serpent Apep. In many Egyptian depictions, a scarab is shown on the forehead of the cat. In actuality, a mark that resembles the scarab is a natural marking of tabby cats. This important scarab marking may have been part of the reason that cats were worshipped by ancient Egyptians.

Despite the logic, there are three aspects of the written Chinese language which make it difficult to retain: 1) Radicals look one way by themselves and another way when combined with other characters; 2) Traditional versus Simplified scripts add that many more characters to recognize (there are over 100,000 characters); I was told that educated Chinese on the Mainland read Traditional but write Simplified (I have used both Traditional and Simplified for this paper); 3) Structures change their meanings depending upon what they are chosen to represent; dots sometimes mean “eggs,” other times, “milk”: however, both fall under the providence of “mother.” Mao Mao suffered childhood neglect from his father Shin Mao and possibly his sisters, which has caused an incessant need for him to be a "legendary hero" like they are. Mao Mao constantly tries to find ways to rise to their ranks and gain his family's respect. field into fourths could be a division of land or a stake in the ground—or both. Chinese is a cumulative language. In Chinese, a character which resembles a stake in the ground—shi2十—means “ten.” Ten fingers are how one holds onto something tenaciously. That stake is in the center of the field, illustrating a tight grip: ownership. That cross also creates quadrants on the field which represent irrigation and cultivation (see Figure 10), as well as equity to subsequent generations as these divisions are even distributions of the land. Put a square around a stake and you have a symbol of possession. The sprouts growing over the divided land are symbolic of the beginning of life; they synecdochically imply sons (in a sexist culture, which all literate cultures seem to be, daughters are typically pawns to be bartered and not considered part of the future equation). The quartered field is a miniature chessboard, the boundaries defining one’s realm, the turf one must defend. Figure 5. Ancient Egyptians and Chinese coded their words for sound and meaning. Both cultures depict “cat” with a picture of an animal and a key to the animal’s pronunciation. The cat-looking character on the left contributes no sound. The character on the right is considered the phonetic component and contributes the sound, though not necessarily with exactness. These two characters together are pronounced māo, but the phonetic component on right is miáo when alone.
