The Turkish Van cat is funny, mischievous, clumsy, dignified and intelligent. Likes to play pranks, do some antics, don't like to snuggle up on people.
They are sporty, energetic felines that are very fond of pranks, spend a lot of time playing, climbing and exploring, and like to stay in the highest part of the house. Shovelers need to put away all the valuables in their homes to avoid being knocked over and broken, either because they are inherently clumsy or deliberate.
Turkish Van cats do not like to be held, pulled hair and tail, and need to interact properly with them. Fan cats are more active than other cats, and they need more attention, are not very picky about family members, have a close relationship with their families, will follow around, and are also suitable for families with small children or other pets.
The Turkish Van Cat always feels that it is the boss of the family, with a sense of superiority and leadership. As long as everyone (including dogs and other cats) gives it enough respect, it is easy to get along with.

The Turkish Van cat plays an important role in religion and mysticism. The explanation for the Van cat's love of swimming is that in the biblical story, the two cats on Noah's Ark disembarked and swam to the shore, on mount Ararat, near Lake Van in Turkey (the name of the Turkish Van cat got its name from). The explanation for the source of the stain on the cat is that in Islamic stories, Allah touch the cat's back leaves a mark; in the Jewish version, the cat's tail hits a door in the ark, causing it to turn red.
