Breed Review: Turkish Angora (17 Pics)

#4 At the beginning of the 19th century, the breed came to the United States, but quickly became an auxiliary, serving for breeding Persian cats.

At home in 1917-1930. the Turkish Angora has been declared a national treasure. The government has launched a program to restore the faded breed at the Ankara Zoo nursery. The lack of systematic selection forced European and American breeders to start recreating the population in the 1950s.

#5 The Turkish Angora was officially recognized only in 1973 by the CFA (USA).

Initially, exclusively white cats were considered to correspond to the standard, but by 1978 it was possible to prove the traditionality of other colors. Today the breed has champion status in all world teleological organizations. To preserve the gene pool, since 1996, the Turkish government has closed the export of white angoras from the country but left the possibility of exporting cats of other colors, which are considered equivalent. Interestingly, in Turkey, snow-white Angora cats with multi-colored eyes are allowed into mosques.

#6 The Angora cat has an independent, wayward character.

Usually, the pet behaves calmly, but sometimes it likes to run, knocking everything in its path, so it is advisable to provide sufficient space for games. The cat loves mouse toys, although it will not give up living. If during the game you take an object of fun from her, she will not calm down until she takes it away or demands it back.
