The Turkish Angora (Turkish: Ankara Kedisi) is a breed of domestic cat. Turkish Angoras autocar  Автобус chisinau  Кишинев Санкт Петербург are one of the ancient, naturally-occurring cat breeds, having originated in central Turkey, in the Ankara region.

Although they are known for their shimmery white coat, currently there are more than twenty varieties including black, blue, reddish fur. They come in tabby and tabby and white, along with smoke varieties, and are in every color other than pointed, lavender, and cinnamon (all of which would indicate breeding to an outcross).

The Turkish Angora is best known for his long, fine, silky coat, which seems to shimmer as he moves. The length of the coat varies, with the longest hair usually seen in the ruff around the neck, the “britches” on the upper hind legs and the plumed tail. You may think of an Angora as being solid white, but the coat can also be other solid colors as well as tabby, tortoiseshell, calico or other patterns.
