The Anatoli, also called Anatolian Shorthair or Turkish Shorthair, is a cat breed of Turkish origin. It is the short-haired variety of the Turkish Van. In 2011, the breed was only recognized by the World Cat Federation (WCF). Its standard is identical to that of the Turkish Van with the only difference being the color and length of the coat.

Getting to know the Anatoli
Origins & history
A story told
The Anatoli would be a natural Turkish breed just like the Turkish Van and the Turkish Angora. The Anatoli is recognized by the WCF in 2001.
Physical
Breed standard
L'anatoli est reconnu que par la World cat federation (WCF). Le standard de l'anatoli est quasiment identique à celui du turc de Van. L'anatoli est un chat de type long et puissant, de grande taille avec une forte ossature. Le poitrail et le cou sont massifs, les pattes et la queue sont de longueur moyenne. La tête est en forme de triangle, le menton ferme et le profil droit. Les oreilles, placées assez haut, sont grandes avec les extrémités arrondies. Les yeux sont de forme ovale, légèrement obliques ; leur couleur doit correspondre à celle de la robe. La robe est courte, sans sous-poil laineux. L'anatoli est un chat bicolore (robe blanche plus ou moins marquée par la couleur) ou blanc uni. Toutes les couleurs sont acceptées, hormis le chocolat et le cannelle, ainsi que leur dilution (lilas et fawn). Seul le patron à pointes est interdit.
