My 3-year-old Turkish Van boy (Albi) is starting to grow a fluffy white mini-version of a male lion's mane. Has that happened to anyone else's male Turkish Van as they matured?

My van caught a bird

We take our cats out to play in the fenced backyard as much as possible because they love it. We’re always with them, and have taken measures (such as a feeder/bath in the front yard to draw them away) to keep birds clear of the area. Plus, most birds just know to be cautious around the giant, bright white cat in the yard.

But one bird probably thought he was safe flying kind of low. My van jumped 6 ft in the air and snatched that bird mid flight. We got it away from him right away and the bird seemed ok when it flew away. We lightly scolded the cat, but I’m secretly so proud of his athleticism and ability. He didn’t even have a running start, he jumped from a dead stop and grabbed that bird out of the sky. I think it’s a very good thing for the local birds that our cats are only allowed outside supervised and contained in the backyard.
