They are bred in a large spectrum of colors and patterns. Self-colors, tortie colors, smokes, tabbies and shaded versions all include the range of colors from black to blue, chocolate, lilac, cinnamon and caramel. Fawn is a variant color for the torties. Smokes, tabbies and shaded versions also include the color silver. Regardless of the color or pattern of your British Angora's coat, it's of medium length.
None have a woolly undercoat.
Their refined air is dramatically set-off by a long and elegant tail. Stepping back in the Angora's history, in the 1890's the features of a longer, silkier coat with an angular head and larger ears distinguished the Longhairs from the Persian breed. During the early part of the 1900's, the Angora was forgotten by the United Kingdom, which only recognized the Persian breed. It was not until the 1960's that the British decided to begin the process of recreating the Angora cat. In order to differentiate between the Turkish Angora breed, the British chose to call their newly created breed the British Angora.
