General description The ideal is a Turkish Angora cat graceful and perfectly balanced, with fine, silky coat. When the handles, we are surprised by its weight and density of the muscles that contrast with the delicacy of her steamy fur. Cats of this breed are intelligent, active and curious and require to be handled gently but firmly. Elegance is always more important than size, this point should be particularly taken into account when comparing males and females.

Colour : all colours allowed except colourpoint. Faults : chunky body, short legs, rond head. A stop at the nose. Tail with a knot. Thick boning.
Head : medium sized and triangular. Nose profile is straight without stop, and the chin is rounded. Eyes : big almond shape, slightly oblique. Eye colour may be green, amber or orange, according to coat color; the whites may also have blue or odd eyes.


Tail : Very long plume, with very fine silky fur which makes it look like a feather. Usually the tail is carried lower than the line of the spine or held out horizontally and bent up, the tip almost touching the head.
