Javanese cat

Javanese history

The breed was bred in the UK at the end of the 19th century, namely in the 70s. There, its first representatives were obtained as a result of mating Abyssinian and Siamese cats. Then, some work was done to get a cat with a long coat.

And here begins the main story of Javanese, which is associated with the definition of its name. Its first name was the "Angora cat." It is absolutely impossible to trace the logic in this, since the breed has nothing in common with the Turkish Angora, nor any common blood.

As a result, it was decided to rename the breed in the Yavan cat. This gave rise to even greater confusion, since in America a cat with such a name already existed. This is a Balinez with a certain type of color.

As a result, it was decided to leave this name.
