Tonkinese are a medium-sized cat, considered an intermediate type between the slender, long-bodied modern Siamese and European Burmese and the more "cobby"
The Tonkinese is a striking, highly intelligent, and incredibly affectionate breed created by crossing the Siamese with the Burmese. They were bred to combine the best traits of both, resulting in a slightly less vocal, perfectly balanced, and highly popular cat breed with breathtaking aquamarine eyes.
The Tonkinese is the ultimate extrovert. They are fiercely devoted, highly playful, and famously dog-like, often greeting guests at the door and learning to play fetch. Choosing sweet, engaging cat names is very popular for this breed. Essential pet care involves providing them with immense amounts of interactive playtime and absolute companionship; they suffer greatly from separation anxiety and are highly social.
