The
Turkish Van is the only cat that loves the water. It may be that this
came about because of his need to catch fish but now it seems the breed
just loves to swim for pleasure. The Turkish Van came from Western
Turkey to England in 1955. The two women who originally took these cats
to England imported two more in 1959. In 1969 the Turkish Van was
accepted for the championship show in Britain. The next year the breed
entered the United States was registered in the U.S. in 1985.
The Turkish Van is a very solid cat with a
broad chest. It has a thick body and long legs that are muscular and
wide set. The coat is semi long and feels like cashmere. After swimming
it dries quickly because it has no undercoat. Grooming this cat by
combing twice a week will be all that is necessary. He should have extra
grooming when his heavy winter coat is shedding. Hecan tolerate a cool
climate.
The only color seen in the Turkish Van breed is white.
The pattern you will see is called van. This is when only the head and
tail have coloring. There can be no more than two spots on his body.
The Turkish Van is an active cat who is very smart. He is not a lap cat
but a lively companion with a very lovely voice.
