Bon à savoir

  • The van pattern — colour restricted to the head and tail — is named after this breed.
  • Famous for swimming, hence the nickname the swimming cat.
  • The cashmere-textured coat is water-resistant and dries quickly.

À qui ça convient

Confident owners with space; it is strong, energetic and not a lap cat by nature.

Entretien

Comb twice a week, daily during the moult. Provide sturdy climbing — it is a heavy, determined jumper.

Histoire de la race

Cats of this pattern have lived around Lake Van in eastern Anatolia for centuries. Two British travellers, Laura Lushington and Sonia Halliday, brought a pair back in 1955 after being given them on a photographic trip, and bred the line on in England.
