Top 5 Oldest Cat Breeds in the World

Egyptian Mau

According to legend, the Egyptian Mau looks much the same now as it did 3,000 years ago. Ancient artwork from thousands of years ago features cats that resemble the contemporary Egyptian Mau. Archaeologists have found cats in ancient Egyptian tombs that resemble the modern Egyptian Mau. The Mau could be related to an African Wild Cat subspecies with spots. Maus are quick and can run up to 30 miles per hour. They can also jump six feet into the air from a standing position. Because they take their time to develop relationships with people and other animals, they are frequently perceived as being a little distant.

Persian

One of the oldest cat breeds is the well-known Persian, which is represented in hieroglyphic texts from as early as 1684 B.C. and is thought to have sprung from Persian longhairs (now Iran). The distinctive long, flowy, thick jackets of the Persian are well-known. The toes are densely tufted, and they have a lovely, round face with wide cheeks and bright expressive eyes in contrast to  round-tipped ears. Its short tail is lofted at a lower angle than the back and without a curvature. To maintain their medium-sized to large thick style bodies, this breed possesses heavy-boned legs.

This Abyssinian cat is extremely athletic and enjoys learning tricks for people. It enjoys learning from human behaviour analysis. They can fly six feet in the air and are quick and nimble. They like to sit on shoulders, tall shelves, and other high areas.
