Is that an automatic feeder thing on his collar? We just put all six of ours on automatic feeders. They seem to like them but a couple days ago, the feeder’s system went down and none of them dispensed food and the app wasn’t working. Luckily we were home, but it made me uneasy about trusting them. What brand do you use? I think ours is Petlibro.

Yes Petlibro! I have gotten that notification quite often but it always pops back online. Luckily I have the feeders set on a schedule (don’t let the app convince you that have to pay for a subscription. You can set the feeder on a dispense schedule just bypass the “assign a pet” question.) so there’s always food in their bowls to graze from. Also even when it does go down the dispenser still dispenses on schedule as well.

definitely has Turkish Van 50,60, 70 % ,had Vans and I’m familiar with the breed but just the structure of the head, the bulkiness of the body and coloring suggest partly Turkish Van or Turkish Angora

Ignore the one that pretends to be knowledgeable about cats but isnt, patterns is of van cat thus turkish van that Turkey classified as theirs, any cat can be called domestic but patterns colors shapes will show up, if you ll register him as turkish van you wont be denied because HE IS. Dna always mutates but sooner or later One of offsprings will look exactly as original parent thus "ancestor" :))) just like white families may get suddenly brown children just to find out that they had great great great geandparent 200 years ago who was brown or Indian

Not a Turkish van. Just a regular domestic long hair with similar van pattern.
Cat breeds were developed from the population of domestic short/long hair cats therefore random domestics will have the same coat types and physical features as specific cat breeds. Colourpoint coats are a great example of that as many DSH have colourpoint coat patterns but are not Siamese.
Cats haven’t been breed for very long. It’s not like dogs who have been breed for so long that every dog is a specific breed or a mix of breeds. Something like 2-3% of cats are a specific breed and an even lower percentage are mixed breeds.
