Common Activities and Preferences Sunbathing: White cats frequently seek out warm, sunny spots like windowsills to sprawl in the rays. However, because they have less melanin, they are highly prone to sunburn and require limited exposure during peak hours to avoid skin damage. Socializing and Cuddling: Many owners describe white cats as affectionate "lap cats" and "cuddle bugs" that enjoy being near their favorite humans. Some are even known for being exceptionally vocal, "chatting" with their owners to ask for attention. Active Play: Specific white-coated breeds have unique energy levels. For instance, the Turkish Van is famously dubbed the "swimming cat" because it enjoys playing in water. Others, like the Khao Manee and Oriental Shorthair, are known for being highly energetic, enjoying puzzles, and exploring high perches. Grooming: To keep their "fur like snow" pristine, white cats are consummate self-groomers. Some owners report their white cats ironically seem to enjoy rolling in dirt or grease, which may require extra baths. Breed-Specific Hobbies Turkish Van: Jumping, running, and swimming. Turkish Angora: Playful and loyal, often seeking out companionship. Russian White: Smart and highly trainable; they often enjoy learning new tricks for treats. Ragdoll: Typically white with colored points, they are known for going limp with contentment when held and following their humans from room to room. Adaptations for Deaf White Cats A significant percentage of all-white cats, especially those with blue eyes, are born deaf. These cats may have slightly different lifestyle preferences: Indoor Exploration: They are often kept strictly indoors for safety, where they enjoy climbing, hiding, and hunting in controlled environments. Vocalizing: Deaf white cats are often noted for being extremely loud and "chatty," as they cannot hear the volume of their own meows.
