Tonkinese
|
Description
The Tonkinese is medium-sized but muscular and athletic. The head is a slightly rounded wedge shape, the ears are medium-sized and alert, and the eyes are almond-shaped and pleasantly slanted. Tonkinese come in three patterns: solid like the Burmese, pointed like the Siamese, and mink, midway between the two. Tonkinese have darker colour on the pointed areas of the body. Pointed Tonkinese have blue eyes and solids have an eye colour ranging from green to gold. Coat colours are natural, champagne, blue and platinum.
The Tonkinese is chatty, curious, playful and people orientated. They have a super-smart personality. Their voices are milder in tone than the Siamese and they are not generally as vocal. Tonkinese stick to your side as if attached there. They make every activity a game, whether it’s helping you make the beds or assisting with dinner. They crave affection and companionship. They form close bonds with their human friends, so a Tonkinese is not a good choice if you spend a great deal of time away from home.
