ANGORA CAT. 
produ6lions of beautiful varieties in natural 
obje6ls. In Spain, and in Syria, the Sheep, 
the Goats, the Dogs, the Cats, the Rabbits, 
&c. have the finest wool, the most beautiful 
ahd longest hair, and the most agreeable and 
variegated colours. These climates, it should 
appear, soften nature, and embelUsh the form 
of all animals. The Wild Cat, like most 
other animals in a savage state, has coarse 
colours, and hard hair : but, when rendered 
domestic, the hair softens ; the colours vary ; 
and, in the favourable cHmates of Chorazan, 
and Syria, the hair grows long, fine, and 
bushy, all the colours become more delicate, 
the black and red change ' into a shining 
brown, and the greyish brown is converted into 
an ash-coloured grev. Bv comparing the 
Wild Cat with the Chartreux Cat, it will be 
found, that they differ only in this degrada- 
tion in the shades of colour. As these animala 
have always more or less whiteness on their 
sides and belly, it is apparent tint, to produce 
Cats entirely white, and with long hair, like 
the Cats of Angora, nothing farther is requi- 
site, than to join those which have tlie greatest 
quantity of white ; as has been done to pro-. 
cure
