The Turkish semi-longhair cat is the oldest recorded domesticated semi-longhair and may be the ancestor of all the other northern hemisphere semi-longhair breeds. Turkish Vans are a rare and ancient breed that developed in central and southwest Asia, which today encompasses the countries of Iran, Iraq, southwest Soviet Union and eastern Turkey. "Van" is a common term in the region with lake Van roughly in the middle.
The Turkish Van is a large, well-balanced, well-proportioned and agile cat with a strong appearance. Turkish Vans take three to five years to reach full maturity. They are a healthy breed, and extremely loving, intelligence and curious cats. With their endearing, dog like and loyal qualities, they make very rewarding companions. Owners of Turkish Vans cats find them more like dogs than cats and are enthralled with their capable skill and agility and exuberant affection.
