The Turkish Van
If you hear someone bragging about their Turkish Van, you’d be forgiven for thinking they were talking about an imported car. However, the Turkish Van is not a car but a rare breed of cat. This rare cat has a one-of-a-kind coat. While most cats have coats consisting of three hair types, the Turkish Van prefers a coat of one hair type, with no undercoat. This makes her fur cashmere-like in both texture and looks. Plus, it’s water-resistant, which works out fantastically since they are also known as the “swimming cat”. This cat not only loves to go out for a cool dip but also loves playing in the water.
