What Is a Maru Cat
A maru cat is a Scottish Straight with a round face and broad cheeks, often confused with the related Scottish Fold. The breed is known for a sturdy build, medium size, and a calm, friendly temperament. They have short to medium fur in many colors and patterns.
Maru Cat Behavior and Care
Maru cats are generally playful, social, and adaptable to families and other pets. They enjoy interactive toys, climbing spaces, and regular play sessions. Basic care includes a balanced diet, fresh water, routine grooming, and regular veterinary checkups.
Health, Lifespan, and Reliable Sources
Responsible breeders screen for common issues such as polycystic kidney disease and joint problems linked to ear-fold genetics. The average lifespan is 12 to 15 years with proper care. For detailed breed standards, visit the Fédération Internationale Féline at https://www.fifeweb.org.
