Tonkinese are a medium-sized cat breed
distinguished by points as with Siamese
and Burmese breeds. They are lively,
friendly, often talkative cats, with
gregarious personalities. But they are
happy apartment cats if they have some
exercise opportunity. They are commonly
referred to as 'Tonks'. As with many cat
breeds, the exact history of the
Tonkinese varies to some degree
depending on the historian.
Tonkinese cats are commonly trim and
muscular cats. They are typically
heavier than they appear to be, due to
their very muscular bodies. They have a
distinctive oval-shaped paw, and a
modified wedge-shaped head, with large
ears set towards the outside of their
head. They are unusually intelligent,
curious, affectionate with people, and
interested in them. Tonks are playful
cats, but not hyperactive, although they
can be mischievous if they become
lonesome or bored. Some interesting toys
and a cat tree, or, better yet, another
Asian cat such as a Tonkinese, Oriental,
Burmese, Siamese, or Snowshoe will keep
them occupied when you're not around.
Unlike most breeds of cat, they are
reported to sometimes engage in fetching,
and they can often be found perched on
the highest object in the house. Do not
be alarmed if your Tonkinese jumps on
your shoulders, as the breed is known
for its love of heights. |
