| Sheri Mitchell of Arubacats was showing an angora neuter at the
Framingham show. She might be able to point you in the right
direction. 603 382-8418

| This may sound silly to some of you, but there are still people
that think that Persians are Angoras. Does the basenoter want a
Persian, or a Turkish Angora. There is a BIG difference.

| Years back I had a white angora that was absolutely the most beautiful,
even-tempered animal imaginable. When we moved to MA we had so much
trouble finding a place to live that would allow animals, that we had
to give her up. Now that we've finally managed to get a place of our
own, we decided to get another cat, & naturally assumed that our
previous cat was typical of Angoras. However, my wife spoke to a
breeder in New Hampshire this morning & she said that shw wouldn't sell
a Turkish Angora to anyone with children because they tended to be very
high strung and unpredictable. My wife decided to go for a Maine Coon
(which I've never heard of, but that certainly doesn't mean anything),
and when I went home for lunch I found that she had wound up going out
& getting a show-quality cream-colored persian from a breeder in
Brookline.

to PURRRRRRRRRRRR. Definitely love at first sight 8^). I may have
had a few misgivings about the $$$$s, but not any more 8^)

| re: Angora personalities - I had heard that from Sherry too when
I talked to her at the last show. She said its funny because the
cat she's showing is a little doll and the judges expect her to
be high strung.
This one's all white too - maybe its the same cat ;-)

| An angora breeder told me that part of the reason why they are so
high strung is that alot of them are deaf. Most of the angoras
that we see are of the blue-eyed white variety, and many of them
are deaf. The startle easier when they can't hear, and they are
more difficult to comfort since they can't hear your reassurances.

| 2906.8 | Yes, I heard that too. | ASHBY::BEFUMO | Knowledge perishes . . . understanding endures | Wed Oct 04 1989 08:41 | 2 |
| Yes, the breeder mentioned the deafness to me also. Too bad - they're
such outstanding animals to look at.
