The Turkish Angora is one of the oldest natural cat breeds, originating in Turkey where it was revered for its silky, medium-long coat. Unlike many longhaired breeds, the Angora has a single-layer coat with no dense undercoat, giving it an ethereal, lightweight quality — the fine silk flows gracefully and is prone to tangling but resists the deep matting typical of double-coated breeds.
