Turkish Van                    Photo Pending

The Turkish Van is a semi-longhaired cat distinguished by its unusual pattern: the cat is white except for a colored tail and color on the head.    They can be found with blue, gold, or odd-eyes. (Odd-eyed means one gold eye and one blue eye).

Vans are affectionate but very independent. They tend to bond strongly to one or two people in a family. They are social and remain active well into old age.

The Turkish Van and the Turkish Angora are completely different cats. Angoras are lithe, with silky fur, and the Turkish Vans are more heavily built with a plush coat.

Interesting fact: Many Turkish Vans are fond of water and swimming. In their native Turkey near Lake Van, they can often be found swimming in warm, shallow pools. Owners of Turkish Vans must be careful about allowing unsupervised access to water, including baths and toilets!
