With the greatest respect, I don't know the breed of this little one, if in fact he is pure-bred, but I know what he is not, and that is Turkish Van or Turkish Angora. Which detracts not a whit from his beauty. Moggie or whatever, he is a charmer. I would say the only thing he shares with me are his hairy feet.Originally Posted by kluchetta
When you said he likes water a lot, and seeing his beautiful ears and face shape, I'm inclined to think Turkish Angora or Van...
And while I agree that it may be a myth that cats, in general, dislike water, are there any other breeds besides that of Molly and me who appear specifically designed by Mother Nature to go swimming? Who in the wild caught fish in lakes and streams as part of their natural diet? I don't really know, and there may be others.
And just to clarify the record, neither Molly or I care for water all that much, perhaps because water invariably means a bath.
Happy holidays to all, all over the world,
