In 2002, the British Angora was renamed Oriental Longhair by British cat fancies. This avoided confusion with the Turkish Angora.
British Angora
See Oriental Longhair. Brazilian Shorthair
The Brazilian Shorthair is descended from domestic cats brought over to Brazil by European colonists. It is a medium-sized cat, and comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
British Angora - it is similar in both temperament and type to the Oriental breeds - lively, inquisitive, and long and lean, with a tail that forms a delightfully elegant plume. This energetic exhibitionist originated in Britain in the l970s.
The British Angora was meant to be a foreign longhaired cat designed to recreate or resemble the Turkish Angora breed. It was, it seems a "remanufacturing" of the Turkish Angora rather than a reimportation of the original Turkish Angora.
