In fact, the Chausie’s name is derived from the Latin name “felis chaus”, which translates as “jungle cat”. The Chausie usually resides from the Nile Valley to the Caspian Sea, as well as in South Asia as far as Vietnam. The breed was so prized that mummified Chausies were discovered in Egyptian tombs where they were buried with their owners to serve as companions in the afterlife.

Since then, breeders have worked to further develop the Chausie, one of the largest domestic cat breeds, which was registered with the International Cat Association in 1995 and fully accepted in 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
