Talk:Oriental Longhair

The link to cat photos is junk, the photos are stolen, and the info is poor.

The link, is merely to direct people to an adsense site.

in fact, the whole article is junk, cut and pasted from two other sites, and its only purpose is to create a link to the adsense site.

I attempted to wikify the page, which meant cutting out a lot of duplicate information and irrelevant info. I cut out these two paragraphs in their entirety and am putting them here in case anybody misses them or would like to use reintroduce them in an edited format Kpstewart (talk) 04:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

• The Angora is the old name for the Oriental Longhair (European Javanese, Dutch Mandarin) British breed of cat. This Angora name was dropped by British Cat Registries in 2002 due to confusion with the Turkish Angora and bring it into line with Oriental Longhair elsewhere. They have the body type and nature of an Oriental cat - lean, sleek, intelligent and inquisitive - and a silky medium-length coat which is much longer and thicker than that of a traditional oriental cat or Siamese.

• The Turkish Angora has a svelte, but not Oriental style, foreign body type. It does not come in pointed colors. It is a refined and elegant cat, with large ears set high and tight on the head, and offering smaller boning than the more well-known Persian cat. The Turkish Angora is a natural breed of cat, and is prohibited from outcrossing to any other breed, unlike the British "Angora" (which has since dropped the name due to pending GCCF recognition of the Turkish Angora).
