We got Harley from our daughter who got her cats from a friend. Through research and consulting with the vet we determined that he is indeed an Egyptain Mau. If you look closely you can see that he has spots on his back instead of stripes. When he sits the spots connect into stripes. He also has a black strip down his back that when he gets scared and puffed up looks like a mohawk.
Sasha is indeed a handful. She is a very loving dog who can't decide if she's a lap dog or a cat. It's funny to watch her trying to do some of the things the cat does. We thought she was chocolate until we saw the picture of your Emily. She looks amazing a lot like her, so I guess we will call her a "red chocolate". How's that for a compromise?
