18. Yes, 30 mph. All the breed descriptions of Maus

say that they have been officially clocked at 30 mph. That does not mean that all Maus run at 30 mph. Some might be slowpokes at only 25 mpr. An indoor cat does not always have the space to gear up to full speed.

Ember has mellowed a bit with age. She is 11 years old now. But when she was a kitten, it wore me out just to watch her speeding around my apartment, often with a small stuffed toy in her mouth, and then leap 3 times her height and land gracefully without dropping the toy. She was a born acrobat.
