The remarkable Angora is often thought of, by the general public, as another name for the popular Persian. This is not the case, for the Angora is a distinct breed, taking its name from the city of Ankara, in Turkey, where it is said to have originated.
The head and body of the Angora are entirely different from the Persian with which it is so frequently confused. The coat is always pure white and can be slightly wavy. Cat Fanciers' Association Point Score: Head Type: 25 Body Type: 30 Color: 20 Coat: 15 Condition: 10 |
