I think my cat is part Egyptian Mau but I'm not for sure. I think that she has the Gooseberry Green eye color and the spots and some of the face markings. I adopted her for a local shelter in august.
They told me that she was a silver and cream tabby. She also has the coat where the spots and stripes are only in the top of her fur not all the way through.
I have many photos of her because she is very photogenic. I was wondering if my cat could be part Egyptian Mau?

Hi Lynaye... thanks for visiting. Your cat looks lovely. I'll be honest, though, and say that I don't think that she is an Egyptian Mau mix.
Sometimes cats are very close to the purebred breed but have no pedigree or are one removed from purebred (and look similar, therefore) but I think she is too far from the proper Egyptian Mau type to be part Egyptian Mau.
They are foreign in appearance (meaning slender) and have spots. Your cat looks like a dilute blotched tabby cat but she is a very attractive cat and as good as an Egyptian Mau.
If you would like to send me some pictures I'll put them on the page:

He looks a bit like my cat here: a nice tabby cat. Of course Egyptian Maus are also tabbies. Thanks for sharing Lucy.
In this picture Sugrrr (nice name by the way) has a very Egyptian Mau underside. I can see the wild cat ancestor via Egyptian Mau here.
