The Tonkinese is a deliberate cross between the Siamese and the Burmese, combining the intelligence and sociability of both breeds. The result is a cat that is vocal and interactive like a Siamese, but with the warmer, less intense personality of the Burmese. Tonkinese cats are affectionate, playful, and endlessly engaging — the perfect choice for anyone who wants an active, communicative companion without the full Siamese intensity.

Pros

  • Highly social and people-oriented
  • Intelligent and easy to engage with play and training
  • Less intense than pure Siamese — slightly calmer and gentler
  • Beautiful aquamarine eyes unique to the breed
  • Playful and kitten-like throughout their life

Cons

  • Needs regular company and stimulation — not suited to long periods alone
  • Vocal and communicative — may not suit noise-sensitive households
  • High energy requires appropriate enrichment and play
  • Can be demanding of attention

Burma addiction is guaranteed to you

Burma addiction is guaranteed for you. I dreamed about my Burmese for more than 2 years, why did I dream? Because having decided that I wanted a Burmese, I was faced with the fact that there are 2 types of them - European and American.

amazing cat!

amazing cat! My acquaintance with these amazing creatures took place a very long time ago. I once had cats of other breeds, but after the appearance of Tonkin cats, everything changed dramatically.
