Laperm Cat VS. Turkish Angora Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


The LaPerm’s outstanding feature, of course, is his coat, which has loose, bouncy curls, making it light and airy to the touch. Tighter, longer curls surround the neck, forming a ruff and clustering at the base of the ears. The whiskers are also long and curly. The coat comes in two lengths—short and long—and any color or pattern. Tabbies, tortoiseshells, and red cats are most common. Longhaired LaPerms have a plumed tail. The coat’s length and fullness may vary seasonally. It sometimes parts naturally down the middle of the back.

The shorthaired LaPerm does not necessarily have a ruff, ringlets, or “earmuffs,” and the texture of the coat may be harder than that of the longhaired LaPerm. He has a tail with fur that looks wavy, more like a bottlebrush than a plume. The short coat may also part down the middle of the back. Whatever the length, the LaPerm coat manifests in different ways. Kittens may be born hairless, with straight hair or with curly hair.

Both longhaired and shorthaired kittens can be born in the same litter. You may notice that the name on your kitten’s pedigree includes the letters BC, BS or BB. Those initials indicate whether the kitten was born curly, born straight, or born bald and helps breeders study how the gene is expressed. The LaPerm’s head is a modified wedge shape, meaning it is slightly rounded. The mediumsize to large ears are slightly flared. Longhaired LaPerms have full furnishings (hair inside the ears) and a covering of fur on and around the outer ears that resemble earmuffs. Expressive eyes can be any color.

The longhaired Angora cat is not the source for angora sweaters, although his fur is certainly just as soft and beautiful. This natural breed takes its name from the city of Ankara in Turkey, which was formerly known as Angora. The Turkish Angora is best known for its long, fine, silky coat, which seems to shimmer as it moves. The length of the coat varies, with the longest hair usually seen in the ruff around the neck, the “britches” on the upper hind legs, and the plumed tail. You may think of an Angora as being solid white, but the coat can also be other solid colors as well as tabby, tortoiseshell, calico, or other patterns.

Beneath the coat is a body that is firm, long, and muscular. Legs are long, with the hind legs being longer than the front legs, and the paws are small, round, and dainty, often with tufts of fur between the toes. The long tail tapers from a wide base to a narrow end. Contributing to the cat’s beauty is a small to mediumsize wedgeshaped head with large ears that sit high on the head and are tufted with fur and large almondshaped eyes that slant slightly upward. The eyes can be blue, green, gold, amber, or odd (one blue eye and one green, greengold, or amber eye). Today the cats are recognized by most North American cat registries.
