I have a couple of cats, but they're pretty shy. Are you a cat or dog person?

They are beautiful. That's interesting that they've been here for so long. Do you know what the oldest breed of cat is?

Turkish Angoras are a natural breed of cat, originating in Turkey and being documented as early as the 1600s. In fact, Angoras are believed to be the source of the dominant genes for both white coloration and long coats

Wow! They go back a long ways. I'm not sure I've ever seen an Angora cat before. Are there any other unique breeds?
