Gentle, easygoing and affectionate, so says one of the best sources about the Turkish Angora personality. Gloria Stephens in
Legacy of the Cat says that the Turkish Angora is "quick-witted" (
intelligent) and quick moving. She even says that this breed of cat can be quick tempered. I am not sure about that last comment.
Dr. Fogle who wrote,
The Encyclopedia Of The Cat says that this cat breed is "energetic and exhibitionist".

I would treat both these commentaries on the
Turkish Angora personality with a bit of caution. There may be an underlying character trait for this breed of cat but we need to factor in the personalities of individual cats. This depends on breed characteristics to a certain extent and also how the individual cat was raised by the breeder.
For me, in any case, it is somewhat questionable whether we can say a breed of cat has a personality trait. All breeds are one species of cat. And all individual cats have their own personalities.
