About 

Turkish Angora

The Turkish Angora (Turkish: Ankara kedisi, Ankara cat) is a breed of domestic cat. Turkish Angoras are one of the ancient, natural breeds of cat, having originated in central Turkey, in the Ankara region. The breed has been documented as early as the 17th century and is believed to be the origin of the mutations for both the coloration white^{[citation needed]} and long hair^{[citation needed]}. The breed is also sometimes referred to as simply the Angora or Ankara cat

Like all domestic cats, Turkish Angoras descended from the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica). The Fertile Crescent was a place where cats were first domesticated. Cats from eastern mountainous regions of Anatolia developed into longhaired breeds like the Turkish Van and the Turkish Angora through inbreeding and natural selection.^{[citation needed]}

Longhaired cats were imported to Britain and France from Asia Minor, Persia and Russia as early as the late 16th century, though there are indications that they appeared in Europe as early as the 14th century due to the Crusades^{[citation needed]} . The Turkish Angora was used, almost to the point of extinction, to improve the coat on the Persian.^{[citation needed]} The Turkish Angora was recognized as a distinct breed in Europe by the 17th century
