Tzohamapanzemnos

The Tzohamapanzemnos (Ninu Upi) are a rare small to medium sized short hair Human-Egyptian Mau hybrid species.

Etymology
Tzohamapanzemnos in Reklic means 'she of the medicine jar' and the binomial name is Chromari for Clever Cat, Ninu meaning 'cat' and Upi meaning clever respectively.

Physical Characteristics
The Tzohamapanzemnos is a small to medium sized hybrid species, standing anywhere from 18 to 24 inches at the shoulder and weighing anywhere from 15 to 30 pounds. They have a slender, agile body with long legs, similar to that of the Egyptian Mau, which allows them to move quickly and gracefully. Their head is typically more human-like in shape, with a shorter muzzle and more defined facial features such as a small, upturned nose and high cheekbones.

One of the most striking physical characteristics of the Tzohamapanzemnos is their coat, which is usually a sleek black or dark brown color with a distinctive "glitter" or shimmering effect. This shimmering effect is caused by the reflection of light on the hairs of their coat, which are finely textured and almost metallic in appearance. They may also have small amounts of white or lighter colored hairs on their chest, belly, or paws.

The Tzohamapanzemnos also has large, piercing green or gold eyes that are typically almond shaped and set wide apart on their face. They have long, tufted ears that stand upright and are somewhat triangular in shape. Their paws are small and narrow, with retractable claws, and their tail is long and thin, with a tuft of fur at the end.

Male and female Tzohamapanzemnos are generally similar in size and appearance, with the main difference being that males are typically larger and may have a slightly heavier build. In terms of coat color and patterns, there is no noticeable difference between males and females. Some individuals may exhibit slight physical differences due to genetics or other individual factors, but these differences are typically subtle and do not significantly affect their overall appearance.

Behavioral Characteristics
The Tzohamapanzemnos is a highly intelligent and curious species, always seeking new experiences and exploring their surroundings. They are very social animals and form strong bonds with their human caregivers, often following them around and seeking attention and affection. They are known to be playful and energetic, often engaging in play-fighting or chasing toys.

Despite their domesticated status, the Tzohamapanzemnos retains some of the predatory instincts of their Egyptian Mau ancestors. They may exhibit stalking or hunting behavior, especially when playing, and may also be vocal when excited or agitated. They are generally good with children and other pets, but may be territorial and may need to be socialized at an early age to prevent any potential aggression.

The Tzohamapanzemnos is also known to be a vocal species, with a range of different meows, chirps, and trills that they use to communicate with their human caregivers. They are also highly sensitive to their surroundings and may become anxious or agitated if there are sudden changes or disruptions in their environment. As such, they may require a consistent and predictable routine in order to feel secure and content.

Reproductive Characteristics
this can also vary. During estrus, the female becomes receptive to mating and may exhibit behaviors such as increased vocalization, restlessness, and marking their territory with urine.

The Tzohamapanzemnos has a relatively short gestational period, with most females giving birth approximately nine weeks after breeding. Litters typically consist of two to four kittens, although larger litters of up to six kittens are not uncommon. Kittens are born blind and deaf, with a thin layer of fur and their eyes and ears closed. They are completely dependent on their mother for nourishment and care.

The Tzohamapanzemnos is a socially monogamous species, meaning that males and females typically form long-term pair bonds and reproduce only with their chosen mate. They tend to choose their mate based on a combination of physical attractiveness, compatibility, and overall health and fitness.

During courtship, males will often engage in displays of affection and may offer gifts such as food or small objects to the female as a way of demonstrating their interest. Females may also initiate courtship, although this is less common. Once a pair bond has been formed, the male and female will typically mate exclusively with each other and will work together to raise their offspring. However, they may also engage in extra-pair copulations, or mating with individuals outside of their primary pair bond.
