Hailing from Turkey, the beautiful Turkish Angora has been around since the early 17th century. This natural cat breed takes its name from the city of Ankara in Turkey, which was formerly known as Angora. For centuries, the cats have been desirable souvenirs for invaders of or visitors to Turkey and may have been the first long-haired cats to arrive in Europe. It is believed that they are the origin of the long hair and the white color pattern found in pet cats today.
The Turkish Angora is a small to medium-size cat, weighing from 5 to 9 pounds. It has a single coat with a silky texture. Because of no undercoat to cause mats or tangles, it’s easy to groom with weekly combing or brushing, and it sheds very little. The coat does not reach its full length until the cat reaches two years old.
Pet owners know just how much these cats like people's attention and it's suggested that these cats not be left alone for more than 4 to 8 hours daily. These cats behave well around people and their life expectancy is around 15 to 18 years.
These social and intelligent pets are also known for having heterochromia, a genetic mutation that gives them 2 different eye colors.

It's a cat breed for cool climates too because of it's thick long hair.

Get a local cat that is free and cheap. In my experience, you must have at least 2 cats in your household to bring you luck.

Almost identical in appearance as my "Buddy" with minor exceptions, likely because he's not a pure breed but matches the behavior description. He's very vocal. But in Buddy's case his hair mats easily, is a Big one at over 10lb and both of his eyes are blue.

Lovely cats, so beautiful. Having heterochromia makes them more interesting, in my opinion. Wish I could have more cats, but my Siamese is too attached and gets jealousy fits.

Lovely cat with such lovely fur. Noticed that the eyes are of different colors? Is it just that one of the eye is infected??
Thanks for sharing.
