It was mainly distributed in France and the United Kingdom. It was the most popular long-haired breed at that time. In the mid-19th century, the status of the Angora cat gradually declined due to the appearance of the persian cat. Angora cats are mainly distributed in Turkey, and the number of other places is very small. The whole body has silky long hair, and there are four colors of brown, red, black and white. It is generally considered that the white Angora cat is the purest. This breed of cat is agile, has a maverick personality, and does not like being petted or held. Angora cats will give birth, there are 4 cubs in a litter, the kittens can open their eyes after birth, and are naughty and cute. The most interesting thing about this cat is that it especially likes water, and can swim and rest in a creek or bath.

turkish angora living habits
Angora cats are very clean, for example they often lick their fur. Their saliva acts as a powerful cleaner, but this saliva can sensitize humans. Angora cats may sometimes spit out hairballs due to the accumulation of hairs in the stomach when swallowed during licking.
Angora cats still maintain the nocturnal habit of carnivores, and many activities (such as mouse-catching, courtship and mating) are often carried out at night. Angora cats are most active at dawn or evening, and spend most of the day resting or sleeping lazily. The daily sleep time is 12 to 16 hours, with an average of 13 to 14 hours, but some Angora cats sleep for up to 20 hours.
Sometimes, the Angora cat urinates everywhere, and the female Angora cat roars wildly in the middle of the night, which is commonly known as “the Angora cat”, which is the estrus of the Angora cat. Originally, it was generally believed that the estrus period of Angora cats was February or August, but there is no absolute time. Experts believe that non-pregnant female Angora cats are in heat every 14 to 21 days, and the heat lasts for 3 to 6 days, of which the mating time is about 2 or 3 consecutive days.
