Cyprus, Feral. Nature:
friendly, doggedly attached to his owner. Has
a wild aire! Originl
Extra notes. I caught him
when he was about 6 months old and very sick with coccidiosis and giardiosis.
His fecal matter was building up on his body so that he was no loinger
able to discard it. I fixed him up
enough so he could fly to Costa Rica after 3 weeks (lots of sulfas &
loperamide. He still thinks I’m
his guardian angel. These cats have
little immunity to domestic cat diseases. This cat is important to me in another way.
I suspect he is the ancient ancestral form of Turkish Angora which should
be called the Caucasian cat or felis Caucasus.
Note the Round eyes and the beginnings of the Turkish Van pattern.
He along with his offspring Mukker, do not vocalize like domestic cats.
They have a harsh gurgling rasp, never a meow!
