| Gildethros Turkish Angoras |
| There simply is no other breed in the cat fancy to rival the elegance and grace of this intelligent, athletic breed with that super silky, flowing coat. More doglike than the average cat, Turkish Angoras attract people who love pets that love them. And as long as you feed them great foods and give them a clean, fun filled environment, they are a carefree breed of cat living long, healthy, active lives. Better yet, Turkish Angoras have a single coat that needs next to no grooming to keep those fabulous pelts purrfect. They really are a fantastic companion for anyone seeking a social, adoring fur friend to help relieve the stress of our "human" lives. But when we refer to Turkish Angoras as outgoing, we are not just trying to be funny! So please read on... It's no joke at all when we ask our clients if they have ever been owned by a Turkish Angora before. Sure, we laugh as we say this because they truly are smart and silly and totally engaging as they lift our spirits high. But if you never have been owned by a Turk before, be prepared to pack up your breakables or put them behind secure glass doors while you train your feisty feline to respect some boundaries. Because I have yet to meet a Turk that doesn't know full well that it's a cat and can jump and climb everywhere and anywhere it wants! And yes, they do seem to want to get everywhere - from the tops of doors to the depths of the entertainment center... Unlike dogs who are pretty much stuck to the floor, these silly felines will in fact halp you do dishes and cook and go absolutely everywhere they can to get in on the action. So, during the training period (most of which is them training you!), you really will need to be as patient (and persistant!) as you would with a new puppy... You just can't keep a Turkish Angora busy all of the time. So they find their own creative ways to entertain themselves. Even the sweetest of the sweet, the most loving of lap lovers will be irresistably compelled to muck around with your stuff. If it moves or can be moved, it's a great new toy. Even with all of those wonderful cat toys that you have lying around, common objects like pens, paperclips and even the salt shaker are just too much fun! Cabinet doors and even drawers were meant to be opened and everything inside explored... better yet thrown out for further inspection. And everything that sparkles or is special to you will be special to them, but once you have been owned by a Turk and YOUR training is complete, there's no going back! Turkish Angoras really are every bit as trainable as an intelligent dog, so I don't meant to scare you off. They just are NOT your average cat and you should only consider adopting one if you are in fact prepared to put in the time and affection that it takes to establish a great relationship and hence train a truly irreplaceable fur friend. ~ Continue ~ |
