The Turkish Van is a rare, beautiful, and intelligent cat with a strong personality. We would like to summarize the special features of the majestic velvet paws below.
The Turkish Van is a gentle and affectionate cat. Adaptable and very fond of children, it fits just as well in single-person households as in families.
Turkish Van & Its Nature
Sociable and social, the Turkish Van tends to stay close to its humans. It pays particular attention to one of its chosen reference persons, from whose side it is reluctant to leave. Separations are very difficult for her – the elegant Turkish cat breed is very unsuitable for a change of owner.
It is a quite intrepid, assertive, spirited cat that needs closeness. Because it is “talkative” and has a fairly loud voice, you can usually tell that the sweet velvet paw is nearby.
Lots of Work: Must for the Great Cat
The Turkish Van is a very smart cat that finds it easy to learn. Even learning tricks with it is worth trying. Many representatives of this cat breed like to fetch and are known to steal something from time to time. Opening doors or cupboards is also often less difficult for them than their owners would like.
Climbing, jumping and playing is a lot of fun for the big, strong cat. Their love of water is usually very pronounced: most representatives of this breed like to splash around and even swim, which is quite untypical for a house cat, which requires their owners to pay special attention to the safety of their velvet paws.
