Tonkinese Cat Breed

The Tonkinese is the result of a cross between the seal point Siamese and the Burmese. It's a semi long-haired cat from Canada.

Since 1930, just two Tonkinese cats are needed to continue the breed. They are very sociable and of easy maintenance. They show a great interest in what is going around them.

the head is a modified slightly rounded wedge with alert ears. Oval tips, broad at the base. Hair on the ears very short and close-lying. Open almond shaped eyes and oblique that go from aquamarine to turquoise or blue-green.
