Turkish Angora : Its fine bone structure should not carry extra weight: a measured, protein-rich ration keeps its slender silhouette. Fish oil or kibble enriched with omega 3 supports the shine of its coat.

In short: Fine to medium cat (2.5 to 5 kg) with a silky semi-long coat, no undercoat, and high energy. An elegant, lively, playful cat that keeps a mischievous streak all its life. In blue-eyed white cats, congenital deafness can occur: favour visual and vibration-based toys over sound-based ones.
The daily ration of a Turkish Angora
A strict carnivore of 2.5 to 5 kg, the Turkish Angora eats about 45 to 70 g of kibble a day — or mixed feeding with wet food, valuable for hydration. Its high activity burns through the ration: split it into several small meals or use a puzzle feeder.
Breed-specific needs
Its coat swallows part of every grooming session: fibre-enriched kibble or malt paste limits hairballs, especially during the moult. The health point to know: congenital deafness in white cats — regular vet check-ups adjust the diet before trouble sets in.
Water and budget
Heir to a desert ancestor, the Turkish Angora structurally drinks too little: a fountain, by making water alive, multiplies drinking sessions and protects the urinary tract. The food budget itself sits between €25 and €50 a month, wet food included. Our label pointers are detailed on the full Turkish Angora profile.
