Turkish Van
This one deserves a special spot on the list because of its unique fur and personality.
Anyone who's raised a cat knows that although they drink water, they don't bathe in it, right?And only jungle cats will swim in water, right?
Wrong! Meet, the Turkish Van.
This cat is affectionately named the “swimming cat” because it really likes to swim!
Why? Well, it's probably because its fur is water-resistant… which I honestly didn't know was possible for a cat!
The Turkish Van's history is also pretty unique as well. They were originally found in the 1800's in Turkey, hence the name.
And then later, were brought over to the United Kingdom. Yet, they weren't brought to the United States until the 80's.
What's more, because of the Turks' love for the cat, they made it hard to import for breeding purposes.
Despite that, if you are able to get one, you'll have a very fun companion.
