Cats
Turkish cats. Those working with Turkish Angoras/Vans have worked to preserve
characteristics of those naturally occurring breeds and the Turkish Angora has prior claim to
the Angora name. Luckily the genuine Turkish Angora has since returned to Britain.
The most obvious differences between the Turkish Angora, British Angora and Persian are
the coat, head shape and general conformation. The British Angora is an oriental cat - long-
bodied with a longer, wedgier head and larger ears. The Turkish Angora is less foreign in
build, with a wider, shorter head and smaller ears. The Persian has a wide head, flat face,
small-ears and extremely cobby build. In addition, the Persian has longer fur with a woolly
undercoat and a tendency to tangle or knot. The Angora coat is silkier without the woolly
undercoat; the full Angora coat is seen in the winter - in summer, they moult and may look
like shorthairs with fluffy tails.
