The Turkish Angora is a naturally-occuring breed of cat, originating from the Manul cat which was domesticated by the Tartars. Eventually they migrated to Turkey, and are considered as a national treasure in that country.
If you decide to be owned by a Turkish Angora, you will no doubt consider it your own "domestic treasure." They are one of the most intelligent breeds of cats, intensely devoted, indefatigably playful with a zest for life. Turkish Angoras meet life on its own terms and love every minute of it. Quite an example to follow, it seems.
