Turkish Angora Cat — Source:
Thanks Liz. I’ll check that out asap. I have another on the TA – the real Turkish Angora!
hi, there are a few inaccuracies here about Turkey.
First of all, Anatolia is the name for the whole of the Asian part of Turkey (most of it) not an old name, it’s still in common use. Also, you say Angoras ‘used to be called Ankara cats’ which would make absolutely no sense seen as the city was called Angora until the 1930s – you’re the wrong way around!
Thank you

Do you take requests for the cat pictures? I’ve looked all over google and can’t find the picture I need.
