The Turkish Angora is one of the oldest breeds, originating in the region of Ankara in central Turkey. Nevertheless, the term has been applied unfairly angora to designate any long-haired cat, regardless of their origin or race. Thus, in Spain, many common long-haired cats, or even without pedigree Persians, mistakenly called \ “Angoras \”.
