History of Angola's Cat
Turkey's wild ancestors were among the first domesticated
cats in the fertile crescent region of the Middle East.
It is an ancient breed observed and cared for by Europeans at some point during
the sixteenth century, according to the Council of Turkish Angora Breeds (TABC)
this was due to their bright and long white fur that made them reserve
cats stored with the aim of breeding the most famous Persian cat.
This breed was saved and lifted out of oblivion thanks to its caretakers
and carers in Turkey, where they began collecting and caring
for white Angura at Ankara's zoo in the early 20th century.
The zoo has bred and cared for Angura ever since, but did not start selling
and exporting cats outside Turkey until the 1960s, when the Angoran
dynasty began making its way to Canada
the United States and the rest of the world.
Today, Angora's Turkish cat remains a rare breed
but it was accepted by the Association of Cat Lovers of America to prey in
the 1973 cat shows. All of Angura's original cats are attributable to the Ankara zoo.

A loyal and affectionate cat who loves to play and run

The Turkish :
Angorans are very smart
they are incredibly social cats. They develop strong connections with their family
members, although they often choose one person in particular to communicate
closely with, and give them the most love.
Angora Turkish cats love to play full of vitality
both with their human owners and on their own.
Living needs
The Turkish cat of Angura coexists well with children if they are good at dealing
with him and know how to play with him without disturbing him, but young
people should be warned not to pluck his long hair or tighten his tail
cats generally hate this.
Angoran cats do not
- accept that young children play with them and carry them
- or drag them in the carriage like some other breeds
- such as Himalayan cats and Ragdoles who like this play.
Angora accepts other cats and dogs happily if they are properly presented to them.
They tend to live with different pets, and they don't show much stress behaviors
if they're left alone at home.
As for all cats
Angora's Turkish cat needs a variety of toys and some scratch poles in order to
keep him happy (as well as to save furniture from scratch effects).
He also loves sitting in high surfaces, so give him some high places that
he can sit and watch the house through.
Long cat tree, or fixed cat shelves, or high swing is the preferred place for Angura, if high places are not provided to sit in, they are likely to choose above the bookcase or door as their preferred place.
Care
Angora's long, silky fur does not have an underlying layer, making caring
for their hair fairly easy. But that doesn't mean you can forget
about hygiene in general.
These cats need to brush their teeth once or twice a week if possible
combing the hair a little to keep its shine and look beautiful.
Because of its smoothness
Angora's hair does not tend to clump or tangle, but it will continue to grow until
they are about two years old, so expect combing sessions to become
more frequent as your little cat grows.
Some breeding specialists say that Angora's Turkish cat drops hair a lot
so routine brushing will keep their fur loose from ending up on
your furniture and bedding.
It is also important to monitor their ears and around their eyes
because long fur can trap dirt around those areas which may lead to infection.
Use a cloth wet with warm water and wipe around the eyes
and ears to remove any accumulation.
Like all cats, Angora cats need to trim their nails as needed, and feed them the right amount of healthy food while keeping their sandbox as clean as possible.
Tagdia
Angora's diet relies heavily on age, sex and activity levels.
For example
an active Angoran cat consumes more food than another low-activity cat.
If you're not sure how much to feed your cat, see the nutrition guide on your favorite cat food, or talk to your vet. In general, two to three rich meals a day are enough.
Excessive nutrition can lead to obesity, which can lead to a range of other health problems. It is therefore important to maintain a healthy and balanced diet for Turkish Angora cats.
Breed Health
Since the beginning of the nineteenth century and long before
all Turkish Angorans were thought to be deaf. While this is certainly not the case
this problem is common in this strain compared to other cat species.
There seems to be a relationship between the white hair gene and blue eyes
and the breed's hearing capacity. As such, blue-eyed white
cats have a higher than average risk of deafness.
These possibilities extend to cats with different colored eyes too
where the pro-blue-eye ear is deaf.
Genetic traumatic disease is a rare condition, but some Turkish Angoran cats
may suffer from it despite its rarity. Traumatized cats make unusual
vibration movements and do not live until adulthood.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is another rare genetic disease but it has been
observed in the strain, it is a cardiac condition that typically affects
cats between the ages of two to six years, and males are more susceptible to it.
Turkey's Angora cat can also be prone to chronic kidney disease (CKD)
a chronic loss of kidney function over time. There is no definitive cure
depending on veterinary specialists, but the drug exists to
help mitigate the impact of the disease.
