Mimi our gorgeous Angora goes exploring as the snow melts
Click to enlarge.
Mimi is a somewhat traumatized and neurotic Shelter Cat -- though how anyone could abandon such a remarkably gorgeous cat thoroughly mystifies me.
I lobbied to name her after Mimi, the Free Spirit heroine of the opera "La Boheme" ("The Hippy Chick").
She tends to keep her distance from humans, but at least once a day she has these fugues of needing human contact, which she expresses by wildly running circles around my ankles.

Hmmmm Turkish Van ...
Wikipedia:
The Turkish Van, or simply just Van, is a recognized cat breed that is known for its unusual love of water and swimming. They were created from the cats native to the Lake Van area. The cats of this type are named in Turkish Van Kedisi[1] (although it is used to refer solely to the all-white form), in Armenian vana katu (Armenian: վանա կատու),[2][3] and in Kurdish (Pisîka Wanê).[4] Originally called in the West the Turkish Cat,[5] the name was changed in 1979 in the U.S. (1985 in the U.K.) to Turkish Van[6] to better distance the breed from the Turkish Angora cat which had its origins around Ankara, in central Turkey. Traditionally, in the cat fancy, Turkish Vans are recognized as patterned cats with colour restricted to the head and tail with the body of the cat being white. However, in Turkey, the cat is recognised in an all-white form as well as the form with red patterning and a "fox tail", and with blue eyes, amber eyes, or one eye of each colour (Heterochromia iridis).[1]

Very effective material, thank you for this post.
Here, I don't really believe this will work.
So, I don't really believe it may have success.
