How can I tell if my cat is a Turkish Van?

To tell if your cat is a Turkish Van, you’ll want to look for some key characteristics. Turkish Vans usually have a white, semi-longhaired coat with distinct color markings on their head and tail. Their eyes are often blue, amber, or even one of each (heterochromia). Additionally, they tend to have a muscular build and a playful, energetic personality. 

If your cat matches these traits but you’re unsure, a vet or breed expert might help confirm, or you could look into genetic testing for more certainty.
