Short description
The Turkish Angora is an active and feisty cat, but also needs a lot of love an cuddles. She demands playtime and cuddles by following her owner everywhere, constantly purring. Due to her intelligence, she easily learns new tricks. Owners should have a second cat, because the Angora does not like to be alone.
