Turkish Angora cats are among the most gorgeous cat breeds around. Their physical attributes coupled with their lovely personalities easily endear them to many people. They are playful and bursting with energy. They are certified ‘people cats’ and hate being alone for extended periods of time. They will also need lots of mental and physical stimulation to burn off excess energy and keep them busy. Your Turkish Angora cat will love having lots of cat-safe interactive toys to keep them busy and happy, especially when you are not around to play with him or keep him company.

While these cats are generally healthy and hardy, they have their share of health issues that can be inherited from their parents, just like other purebred cats. Two of the most common health issues of Turkish Angora cats are deafness and Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Getting your pet cat from a reputable breeder can help ensure that your new kitty has been tested against hereditary health issues that can affect the breed.
