What is the Personality of the Tonkinese ?
Energetic, and active, Tonkinese thrive on attention from people, and adjust well to children, dogs or other cats. Their love of riding on people’s shoulders is legendary. The gift of gab was inherited from its Siamese forbear, because the Tonkinese talks in sentences and paragraphs. You are expected to listen. However, their voice is more moderate in tone than the Siamese. Boundless reserves of energy, that need limitless outlets, they show joyful curiosity for the world around them. Their easy to groom short coat is silky and elegant. They’re playful, and inventive, but not excessively mischievous or noisy, and adapt to almost any home. They have the intelligence and curiosity of the Siamese with a more laid-back personality of a Burmese. Tending to be very healthy cats, they live into their upper teens. Their appearance and low maintenance lifestyle draw cat lovers to them.
