Van Pattern
Van pattern is known to animal geneticists as the Seychelles (Seychellois) pattern and is classified into three variants:
Seychellois Neuvieme is white with colored tail and head splashes (classic Turkish Van pattern)
Seychellois Huitieme is white with colored tail and head splashes plus additional splashes of color on the legs
Seychellois Septieme is white with splashes of color on the legs and body in addition to those on the head and the colored tail
These are high grade white spotting of types nine, eight and seven.
This coloration is not restricted to a specific breed of cat, as it can be found in many different types of pure-breed as well as mixed-breed domestic cats.
