I have ome
My fluffy lovely black boy is also Angora.
Lovely, classy and sweet boy.
I disagree with the part that it requires lot of brushing, with his soft silky furr, is so easy to groom, and the hair is do easy to clean from sofa.
I also have a normal cat, no breed in particular,short hair, and guess who's hair is giving me hard time? Definitely not the Angora's.
He is sweet with children, and for a while we had a cocatiel and he was in love with him.
Angora cat are great sweet playful ball of furr.
Here's some more facts and info. Having visited them in the Ankara zoo and talked with some ppl there, Turkey considers only the Angora coming from Turkey as the purebred one. Here's why:
The Turkish Angora is one of the most ancient breeds out there. Scientists think this is the very first cat breed to develop the white fur (white cats are very rare), the long fur and odd eyes. The Angora lived in the Ankara mountain. This is a cat built by nature for a relatively cold climate. Hence, they had to be sturdy, big and have a thick fur. The skinny, American Angora simply does not make sense evolutionary wise. If you have a look at them in the zoo, you'll notice they're quite big, especially males and have this wild appearance in them. They have big bones and long bodies as well. Their fur, while not having a double coat, is quite thick and fluffy. Their face is small and ears are short and not long.
Sad fact, their fur genes were previously used to improve the Persian cat's fur and these poor cats almost went extinct, until Turkey got the matter in their hands and these guys are alive and well again, and now are extremely protected there.
About the color. According to the Turks, the Angora has to be white or white with some shades of brown (still predominantly white). Any other color varation is due to a mix of the breed.
Nonetheless, you are right about their personality. They are weird, quirky, affectionate and extremely intelligent.
They are not only considered a national treasure in Turkey, but also sacred in Islam, since in the Quran, the prophet cut a piece of his sleeve just to not disturb his cat sleeping. That cat was an odd-eyed Angora. They were also Royal. Marie Antonette loved them, so she kept them in the Versaille.
They are super cuddly and affectionate, plus playful.
The hearing issues are quite true, 80% of all Angora cats have it or completely deaf like mine.
However she is quite intelligent.
She is second cat in the house, and she gets along well with our family maine coon cat, they're playing with each other too.
Another fact about Angora cats though, along with Persian and Himalayan cats, they might have runny eye problem
and breathing problems that need to be treated.
All in all, she is super adorable and very very friendly for a cat.
OMG I ABSOLUTELY ADORE MY TURKISH ANGROA!!
I had a white cat with blue slightly crossed eyes that looked like this but it was very big and its fur had a woolly feel to it. It was a very needy cat that always wanted cuddles, it seemed to be hard of hearing, and it also seemed to be kind of stupid and kept bumping into things or missing its jumps so we called it Dipsy. Was it one of these? A russian longhair? A Norwegian forest cat?
My shuga loves this video
Beautiful cats, ❤ mines
My housemate has one of these, basically a cloud with a face. Absolutely wonderful cat, if a bit of a goblin sometimes.
There are no "Cons" to an Angora.
GOOD DAY SIR!!
I had one, he was so beautiful and cute. He used to pee in the sink and would go there whenever you went to use the bathroom, he was super cuddly and would always lie on you and even sleep in bed with you under the covers. He was super playful as well, didn't mind being bathed, and seemed to be hard of hearing because he could hear us calling him but fireworks and the hoover didn't bother him. He would even be super affectionate with complete strangers! His fur was thick and had a feeling like wool. Definetly a special cat, I wonder if ragdoll cats are a mix of an angora cat and something else.
Had a kitten show up on our back porch many years ago, we’re not cat people, but of course we took him in. As we’re both allergic to cats, we cared for Funyuns as much as possible. Never had a more clingy loving cat. He went to a good family and only after I posted an adoption ad, someone said that was their turkish angora that had been missing. I asked why they ignored the “found” ads for 8 months and they went silent. Didn’t know that’s what he was (knowing nothing about cats), but he got along great with our cockapoo and everyone he met. Great kitties.
I have a question, I have a Turkish Angora but whenever my friends or family comes over she runs and hides. Could this possibly be blamed on her past home? Her past home was a good place, the owners were also really nice but she was living with her ex. Is this possible it could of have triggered something about her making her very unhappy and now making her particularly anti-social and more scared?
