[VIEW ATTACHED PHOTOS] Turkish Angora's have been cross-bred, so not all of them are white. We've been on the hunt to identify his ancestry and personality-wise, the Turk checks all the boxes. Just curious on everyone else's opinions.

I was hoping he would have ancestry from a particular breed, because he is such an interesting cat I want to try and get another with similar personality traits when he passes one day. Just to be sure, I might get genetic testing done to see if there is strong resemblance anywhere!

He's pretty awesome. Thanks!

You don't think he has long hair? He's definitely not short haired, and he's pretty fluffy.

How did you identify the triggers?

We completely stopped letting them outside after his last episode 7 weeks ago. There was 9 weeks between his first exacerbation and his second, so I'm hoping this one doesn't come around like clockwork. After this last scare, my husband and I have both decided we're not going to let them...

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your cat. I didn't think IBD was enough to kill a cat, unless they suffered chronic fever. Never heard of that happening before.

Good question, and the answer is no! He had his last round of vaccines last year.

Not any changes that I'm aware of. I would be genuinely surprised if his food was making him feel ill. It's unlikely since he gets so sick without any indication.

No, he's only had the blood, urine, and fecal tests. I have the full list of results, so if you're looking for something specific I can give you the numbers.

He's been on the same diet for about a year. Dry food is IAMS indoor hairball & weight control, and wet food is Friskie's.

The grass is on public property, so it's possible it could be compromised. I also questioned if he had just eaten the grass after using fertilizer or pesticides, but I have no clue. My other cat is on the same schedule as him, and eats the grass as well. Same age, but never have had any...

I have an indoor-only 2yo neutered male, 13 lbs, (possibly a maine coon or forest cat mix) He occasionally gets to go outside, but always under my supervision for maybe an hour total every week. Diet has been the same for >1 year Up to date on Rabies, FVRCP, and FeLV vaccines Tested negative...
