major clubs | | otes | | his is a breed in developement | The Angora is a very new British breed of cat. The Angora currently has a small population base, because the breed is still in development. They have the body type and nature of an Oriental cat - lean, sleek, intelligent and inquisitive - and a silky medium-length coat which is much longer and thicker than that of a traditional oriental cat or Siamese. Angoras can be any of the standard shorthair colours. The range of possible coat colours includes everything from self-coloured (black, blue, chocolate, lilac, cinnamon, caramel, fawn, red, cream and apricot), torty, smoke (silver undercoat), shaded or tipped, tabby or white. All Angoras have green eyes, except for the whites, which may have green or blue eyes, or be odd-eyed (two different colored eyes). If an Angora is bred to a shorthaired oriental or a Siamese, the kittens will all be short-haired. However, if these kittens are reintroduced into a breeding program as adults, approximately half of their kittens will have long coats. External links
