I read somewhere that the Turkish Van breed does like water...they have been known to swim and swim very well.
My cat must not be a Turkish Van. Even a drop of water sends him sucrrying.
I also had a tomcat that also loved water. Actually an older brother of this one. He used to sit in bathtub and jump on the faucet in attempt to make water run
I have a black lab that must somehow be related to your cat. Doesn’t want to go out to pee during or after rain, she might get her feet wet....but doesn’t mind snow...
