Well she is home

On Saturday, we finally got to pick up our new Turkish Van!

Man, this little girl is a riot, and truly lives up to her breed. She *loves* water! She likes to dip her paws in her water dish. If I sprinkle water on her, rather than running away she tries to catch the droplets. And when I dropped my wet towel on the floor this morning, she started rolling all over it, lol.

Here she is dipping a paw:


And just being cute:


Oh, and her name is Lizzie Borden. I call her Lizzie B.

Oh my gosh she is just way tooooo adorable. I wen to the site you listed when you were originally lookin got get one. I really do think these are some amazing cats. Let us know how it goes with her. I am seriously thinking of getting another cat this time next year and am still milling through the different breeds

[SarahMB]

I'll definitely keep you updated on this little treasure
So far I can't say enough good things about her. She is so incredibly smart, and the whole water bit is so unique.

Haha yeah, if those paws are any indication of how big she will get, it should be interesting!

Oh she's cute Sarah! We had a kitten years ago that, though she's wasn't a Turkish Van, she was bizarrely interested in water (for a cat). Do watch yours around the toilet. Ours adored the water in there, loved to watch it flush away and unfortunately figured out that dropping things in the john resulted in an ever so lovely stoppage and water ALL over to play in! ACK!
