Do Turkish Vans like to be cuddled?
In general, the Turkish Van does not like to be picked up and carried around (there are exceptions, of course). This does not mean they are not affectionate, but are more like dogs in their loyalty, devotion, and interactions with their owners. They generally enjoy being wherever you are (and in whatever you are doing!), watching TV with you, and sleeping with their favorite person. Some Vans enjoy riding around the house on your shoulder.
