I myself got a turkish van..one of the type of cats that like water more than any other cats. And my cat, Yuki LOVES the water. He's always sitting in the shower or bathtub and play with the water. i didn't even know it was a van at first.. cuse i got it from a place for cat's with no homes..and I work there. but one thing I can't understand..is people who thinks water is animal torture? I've never heard of dangerous water..lol..
Aw, love Vans! Love how Merlin keeps his tail out of the water. He is clearly enjoying himself. He's swimming with the boat until the end, keeps looknig back to make sure he's being followed. Lol.
the lolest amswer ever in youtube. think i shud say srry too, a little bit to much maybe. anyway thx and congratulations 11 months are not so much but if you know yourself and change your mind its fantastic, these cats at van see i heared first time from my grandmother its a famus story in her village, that all the cats catch once everything whats eatable in rats and mouse whats there so the population gone so far that the only possiblity was to swim and catch things, In india even tigers dothat
May I repeat the sentiments that all of you castigating these people are idiots? The cat is obviously a Turkish Van/Turkish Van mix breed, and Vans LOVE water! If this particular cat didn't like it, he certainly would have RUSHED OUT as soon as he was able to stand on shore. In additional, ALL CATS CAN SWIM. MOST don't like water for 2 reasons: they don't like it in their face due to sensitivity of whiskers, ears & noses; and the water keeps them from being able to stay warm when they're cold.
@Snowwie88 That's really silly. Clearly, the cat puts it's nose just above the waterline on purpose. Because it instinctively knows that this is the most effective way of moving in the water.
I know when a cat is stressed... there is no stress or fear here, give it a break!! He looks like he wants to take a nose dive into the water from the boat....anxious to get going!! Love it!!
We some times drag our turtle out in the middle of the freeway and video tape it to show people how much he likes running in traffic. I mean since he wouldn't go there on his own, it doesn't mean he doesn't like it.
sometimes I take my pet snake with me to alaska in the winter to show he is a snow snake.
Clearly, this cat doesn't mind the water. If he did, he'd be scratching his owners eyes out and totally freaking out. It's a myth that all cats don't like water. Many breeds are fond of the water. Some cats don't like the water, but many tolerate it if they have not learned to fear water. I wouldn't be surprised if the cat thinks that the cool water feels great on a hot day
@sr14225 It's a myth that all cats don't like water! not true cats realy dont like water, only cats with long hair maybe ignore some rain, couse there are protected. all other odinary cats hate water. Why loosing energy by swimming if its not needed its, allways like that in nature Only those van-Cats from Van See in türkey check in wiki. these are masters of swimming, heared about cats wich swimm realy far ways there and dont forget that the cat hase to bring the fisch out of and still breethe
@cenkistcool many dogs don't have to go in the water, yet many enjoy doing so. you should probably stop acting like you are some expert on animals, if you aren't and don't know these people and their pets.
@jodieanneelms: i hate people like you. the cat was in no hurry to get out, and some cats don't have to be maine coons to like water. i have a calico and a mixed tabby, and they LOVE water. they're ALWAYS jumping into the pool or the bathtub. if merlin wanted to get out, he'd be out in less than a minute. i love animals, especialy cats.
@cenkistcool srry for offending you. i wrote that a long time ago, which was when i thought i was king of the world. yes 11 months might not seem too long, but i change so fast :)
Finaly van cats swimm all other dont like water, and surely all mixed cats with van cat ancestors, maybe like so dont wonder and write hate comments, directly and if ever a cat would be puttin into water without there willing you would see it trust me
All cats can swim. This is nothing new. However no cat would ever choose to swim, many cats will go into the water where they can stand to catch fish or frogs to eat.
I love it..
