The Turkish Angora
originally came from the mountains and forests of Turkey. Through hundreds
of years, they developed extreme intelligence and cunning to enable them
to survive the rugged life and extremes of temperature which they had to
endure. Their long, slender bodies and legs enabled them to leap out of
danger in order to elude their natural enemies. Their fine, silky, tangle-free
coat, kept them warm in the cold Turkish winters and yet in summer, this
coat molted away easily, to allow them to endure the heat of the torrid
Turkish days.
So today, we have a cat whose
background has styled it to be elegant, supremely intelligent and regal,
with a wonderful sense of humor and self-assurance. It has adapted amazingly
well to its life as a pet. It's intelligence, beauty and endearing personality
delighting the most discerning, adoring pet owners and breeders. This breed
has always been extremely loyal, in the wild to its progeny and now, as
a pet, to its human family. These days, the Turkish Angora, raised in loving
homes and cared for with devotion, returns this love and devotion with
an intensity that enchants its supporters.
The popularity of the Turkish
Angora has grown amazingly in the last ten years, as people have discovered
the delight of being owned by one or more of these wonderful, fascinating
creatures. They come in a wide array of wonderful colors, including the
ever popular white and the new and now most popular, silver tabby, black smoke and brilliant cameo red.
Come in and see the beauty and
fascination of the breed, with whom I, and an increasing number of devoted
fans, are enthralled and enchanted!! As I have repeatedly said for the
last thirty seven years, while I have had the joy of working with these
great animals, "Once you encounter your first Turkish Angora, you will never again settle for any other cat!!" |
