The Turkish Angora is believed to be the ancestor of all long-haired cats, and it is thought to have originated in the mountainous regions of Turkey.

The Turkish Angora breed almost became extinct in the early 1900s due to cross-breeding with other short-haired breeds. However, a few dedicated breeders kept the bloodline alive, and eventually the breed became popular again. Today, Turkish Angoras are still relatively rare, but they are cherished by those who own them.

The ancestry of the Turkish Angora cat is uncertain, but it is thought to be related to the Persian cat. The first documented mention of the Turkish Angora was in 16th century Turkey, where it was prized for its hunting ability and its beautiful coat. In 1868, two Turkish Angoras were brought to France as gifts for Napoleon III's wife Empress Eugenie. These cats quickly became popular in Europe, and eventually made their way to America in the early 1900s.

The Turkish Angora was recognized as a distinct breed by The International Cat Association (TICA) in 1979. Today, they are still relatively rare compared to other cat breeds, but their popularity is slowly growing.
