Because of its smart, intelligent, and affectionate personality, the Angora makes a pricey, great choice for families. It gets along with everyone, from children to visitors. Note: this cat doesn’t do well if left alone, as it loves to be around its family. If you are leaving, make sure there are no changes to the environment and there is a large selection of toys left out.
