Arabian Mau

The Arabian Mau, hailing from the United Arab Emirates and living 12 to 14 years, shocks skeptics with a dog-friendliness of 5 and energy level of 4 — this semi-feral breed adapts to home life with surprising eagerness for affection. It is 20% more energetic than the #5 American Wirehair but matches its dog-friendliness score, showing that a higher energy cat can be just as loving. Its 12-14 year lifespan is typical but still offers ample time for bonding.
