That's it. That's the best cat. I happen to have a Turkish Van and it is amazing.
What is a Turkish Van, you ask. Well, Wikipedia says
The Turkish Van, or simply just Van, is a recognized cat breed that was 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]

So, there you have it. The best cat of all. With its tiger like tail and various color patterns, the Turkish Van reigns above the rest.
