The Turkish Angora has been around for a very long time. In fact, scientists believe that the Turkish Angora was the originator of the long-hair gene in all cats. These cats were originally from Angora, Turkey and they are absolutely beautiful. The rare white Turkish Angora is considered a national treasure, and is no longer allowed to be exported from Turkey. These kitties have long, elegant, sil
ky coats, and gorgeous almond-shape eyes, that can range from colors of gold, green, or blue. Sometimes these cats will even have two different color eyes. The Turkish Angoras are shaped beautifully with finely b***d legs and a sleek strong body. They have large, closely-set tufted ears and they move around very gracefully. Although they lack an undercoat, which keeps them from matting, they should be brushed daily to keep their luxurious coats looking their best. These active and social cats make excellent family pets, but they are sometimes known to use their intelligence to manipulate their families into getting their way. These kitties are vocal, athletic, and fun to play with. It is said that the Turkish Angora are very doglike, the reasons being that they sometimes make a growling sound, they respond to voice commands, and they like to play fetch. The Turkish Angora tends to be very healthy, with an average life-span of 15-20 years. They sometimes have a tendency to overeat, so monitoring and supervising their food intake may be necessary. The Turkish Angora are said to be the best cat for families with small children. They are very good natured and absolutely sweet and will be good with little children. So if you are looking for a pet that is well suited for your family then consider the Turkish Angora you won’t be disappointed.
