I got them from a rescuer two weeks ago. They are 9 months old and the rescuer said they are Turkish Angora s. The white one is Freja and the tabby one is Eevee. They are sisters, very active and doglike, would follow me everywhere and would wait for me by the door. They even like water, so I fill the bathtub with some water and they would jump and play in it IMG_20181211_191845-1.jpg 20181217_091052.jpg IMG_20181211_185721.jpg IMG_20181211_191817.jpg

It's possible they are Turkish angoras or at least mixes. Without actual paperwork though it's pretty impossible to tell just from looking at them, they could just be look a likes. So technically without knowing actual pedigree they are just domestic medium or long hairs. Is their fur silky soft? Turkish angoras have very soft fur.

They’re both so beautiful! Without pedigree papers, Freja would be a gold-eyed white Domestic Longhair, and Eevee would be a brown mackeral tabby and white Domestic Longhair. I do think that they are nice lookalikes to Turkish Angoras, though! Without pedigree papers it’s impossible to tell for sure if they actually have Turkish Angora ancestry, although I would say it’s quite likely if you live in Turkey.
