Turkish Angora

In former times, this long-haired beauty from Turkey was only available to sultans, but today anyone can enjoy having a Turkish Angora. However, it is not so easy to get hold of a purebred specimen of this fairly rare breed of cat.

Whether it’s a kitten, an adult cat or a senior – the food for a Turkish Angora cat should always be of high quality and tailored to its age. Cats are carnivores by nature, so cat food should always contain a high proportion of meaty ingredients. Sugar, flavour enhancers and artificial colourings and preservatives do not belong in the food.

animonda has the ideal food for every stage of your cat’s life. You can choose between kitten, adult and senior cat food. The products are specially formulated to meet the specific nutritional requirements of the different life stages of cats. This provides the best foundation for your pet to enjoy a long and healthy life.

Pure white animals are most at risk of developing a disease. This applies not only to this breed of cat, but to cats in general. This is because of the mutation of the pigment genes that result in the colour white. This increases the cat’s predisposition to hearing loss or blindness. It was also the primary reason why the breed standard was revised at the end of the 20th century so that white was no longer the only coat colour permitted.

In order to produce healthy animals, responsible breeders always have genetic tests carried out on their cats and exclude any with health issues from breeding. Make sure that you find a reputable breeder who is able to document their commitment with health certificates.

Despite preventive health care, illnesses can occur. These include ataxia. This is a disability that results primarily in balance disorders. Affected cats have an unsteady stance and can fall over when walking. There are different forms of ataxia and therefore different types of therapy. It is often possible to improve the cat’s condition, although adjustments in the home will usually be necessary. For example, a carpet makes walking much easier than slippery tiles or laminate flooring. Stairs should be closed off, litter trays should not have a high rim and food bowls should ideally be placed in a raised position.
