Hi! This is Finn. I found him when he was about 2 weeks old. his eyes were half open and he was trapped in a boat. Since then, He has grown into a very handsome and happy cat. however, He has some odd characteristics that made me question his breed possibilities. He is fascinated with water, and plays with and in it all the time. He also has a very strong attachment to only me, and wants to be by me constantly. He is very entergetic and the most talkative cat i have ever seen. The main reason i am wondering is because i havnt seen any pictures of long hair domestics that are mainly white with markings like his. I know it is super unlikely for him to be a turkish van, but it doesnt hurt to wonder.
Please let me know what he could be. Thanks :)

Finn is a very gorgeous cat and he does strongly resemble a Turkish Van. Was he a stray found on the boat or was he left behind, and was the boat abandoned? Because if he was a stray then he's probably a mix, and there is a possibility he might be park Turkish Van, but since he lineage is unknown I would say he's a Domestic Longhair.

A very handsome lad. I don't know a whole lot, but I know two cats who are definitely Domestic Longhairs that look really similar to him. Look at that lovely nose.
