The Turkish Angora originally came from the mountains and forests of Turkey. Through hundreds of years, they developed extreme intelligence and cunning to enable them to survive the rugged life and extremes of temperature which they had to endure. Their long, slender bodies and legs enabled them to leap out of danger in order to elude their natural enemies. Their fine, silky, tangle-free coat, kept them warm in the cold Turkish winters and yet in summer, this coat molted away easily, to allow them to endure the heat of the torrid Turkish days.
So today, we have a cat whose background has styled it to be elegant, supremely intelligent and regal, with a wonderful sense of humor and self-assurance. It has adapted amazingly well to its life as a pet. It's intelligence, beauty and endearing personality delighting the most discerning, adoring pet owners and breeders. This breed has always been extremely loyal, in the wild to its progeny and now, as a pet, to its human family. These days, the Turkish Angora, raised in loving homes and cared for with devotion, returns this love and devotion with an intensity that enchants its supporters.
The popularity of the Turkish Angora has grown amazingly in the last ten years, as people have discovered the delight of being owned by one or more of these wonderful, fascinating creatures. They come in a wide array of wonderful colors, including the ever popular white and the new and now most popular, silver tabby.

Caring for a kitten is a lot of work. With her high energy and intense curiosity and sense of adventure, raising a kitten will keep you on your toes. Careful attention during the first year of life will set a strong foundation for a long, loving relationship with your cat.
Kittens aged 8-12 weeks need four meals a day, 3-6 months three meals, and kittens over 6 months old, two meals.
Follow the guidelines on the food packaging as to how much to provide in each feeding. Give your kitten both moist and dry food, so she is less likely to become a finicky eater later. When you offer moist food, be sure to pick it up after about 30 minutes. Cats love moist food, but if you let them eat it at their leisure, they will become "lazy" eaters. Limit the availability of the good stuff, and your kitten will learn to "get it while the getting is good." It is a good idea to leave dry food out all day so she can snack on it as she pleases. It is vital that your kitten learn to eat dry kibble, as the crunchy food helps keep her teeth and gums healthy.

Let me know if it likes water. The Turkish Van's like water. I was thinking of getting one. It really depends on if it is an indoor or outdoor cat. But it needs brushing. Treat your cat as if it was a child. They are smarter than people think. I have trained my cats to do many things. They can talk if you know how to understand them. Food, out, what do you want, time for bed, open the door. My cats are apple head Siamese "flame point, and tourtie point".

Brushing! Lots and lots of brushing! You cat will love it and your clothes will too! Aside from this, using hairball formulas of cat food along with the occasional spoonful of olive oil to help pass hairballs will keep the fluff from being hacked up on the floor. Lots of love and attention should do the rest. :+)

be sure you feed hairball food as they will groom themselves a lot.
