Talk:Turkish Angora

Ankara Zoo in 1917? Ankara Zoo was established in 1933 according to official site http://www.ankarazoo.gov.tr (in Turkish only) However, in article it was said that: "In 1917, The Government of Turkey in conjunction with the Ankara Zoo began a meticulous breeding program..." Furthermore, the given reference for this sentence does not contain this information at all. 88.230.215.25 (talk) 21:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC) A. Bölme

Personality

This article completes neglects the characteristics of this breed's personality traits. For example, certain breeds bond with one owner. Certain breeds are extremely sensitive or moody. Certain breeds don't really bond with any owner and prefer their own independence. From what I have heard, the Turkish cats bond with one single owner and prefer a very close relationship.

Their personality traits are a very important part of the breed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.17.65.14 (talk) 01:25, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Some remarks

• I thought about and decided against moving this page under the title of "Ankara cat" for the simple reason that Google gave 28,200 hits for "Turkish Angora", and 173 hits for "Ankara cat". So, Turkish Angora it is. Ankara cat redirects, and there's also a link from Angora.
• British Angora cat is not related to the Angora Cat (also known as "Turkish Angora", "Ankara cat", etc.). It is a man-made breed originated in Britain in mid 20th century, based on Java/Bali cats.

Swimming

If swimming is one of the important characteristics of this breed, the article would benefit from a photo of one of these cats enjoying being wet. --Una Smith (talk) 04:03, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Better Picture

Can we not get a better headline picture? It looks like a stray in between coats and it looks awful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.232.81.41 (talk) 17:12, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
