by everythingturkish February 24, 2023

The Turkish Angora is a breed of domestic cat that originated in Turkey. It is believed to be one of the oldest natural breeds of cat in the world, with a history that can be traced back over 1,000 years.

Turkish Angoras are known for their distinctively long, silky fur and bright blue or green eyes. They are generally medium-sized cats, with a graceful and elegant appearance. Turkish Angoras come in a variety of colors and patterns, including white, black, blue, red, and cream.

In addition to their striking appearance, Turkish Angoras are also known for their friendly and outgoing personalities. They are highly intelligent and curious cats that enjoy interacting with their human companions. They are also active and playful, making them a good choice for families with children or other pets.

Turkish Angoras have a long history in Turkey, and are considered to be a national treasure by the Turkish people. They were once used to control the rodent population in Turkish homes and businesses, and were often kept as prized pets by the country’s aristocracy.

Today, Turkish Angoras are a popular breed of cat in many parts of the world. They are known for their beauty, intelligence, and affectionate personalities, and make great companions for those who are willing to devote the time and attention needed to care for them.
