The Turkish Angora, as known today, is one
of the most outgoing, affectionate, intelligent breeds known.
This cat tends to attach itself strongly to one person, but is
also very loving and playful with the whole family, as well as
with strangers. Therefore, it is a fabulous family pet, as well
a great pet for older or single people living alone. The males
are the better pets, being even more intensely loving than the
females. Turkish Angoras love to jump and play. They often learn
to fetch and do tricks. However, what they enjoy best is sitting
on the lap of their owner to love and cuddle.
Turkish Angora Care:
The Turkish Angora has a very silky, single coat, which does not
mat. Grooming is a matter of a twice weekly combing with a
rather fine-toothed grooming comb, or a slicker brush to remove
the dead hair. However, during the spring molting season, more
frequent grooming is essential to prevent hairballs.
Turkish Angora History:
The Turkish Angora is a natural breed of cat originating in
Turkey. The Turkish Angora was the first known longhaired cat.
They are highly regarded in Turkey as part of their national
heritage. A few of these lovely cats were taken to Europe in the
16th century by travelers to Turkey. Some were given as gifts to
the French royal family. The ladies of the court adored them
which popularized them in Europe. During the 1940's, the Turkish
government created a breeding program in several of their zoos
to protect and propagate their breed. Although the Turkish Zoos
breed only the white cats due to a cultural idiosyncrasy, the
kittens produced are of many colors, as white is not a color,
but rather a mask for the true genetic color. The Turkish Angora
as known today did not come to the United States until 1962.
Turkish Angora Style:
The Turkish Angora is a medium-sized cat with a graceful,
elegant style. They are long, slender having a muscular body
with long legs and tail. The head is a smooth, rather pointed
wedge with large, striking ears and eyes. Although the Turkish
zoos only breed white, American breeders realized that that is a
bad practice resulting in occasional deafness in the blue-eyed
or odd-eyed whites. A deaf white cat is still a fabulous pet, as
they do not use language and do not miss the sounds that they
have never heard. It is extremely hard to tell if a cat is deaf,
as they compensate for their hearing lack so well with their
other faculties. The Turkish Angora is accepted in all colors
for show, except pointed or colors indicating hybrization with
pointed cats. Cat lovers are learning the beauty and excitement
of this wonderful breed in all its many colors.
