What a beauty!
I had a Tonkinese who looked just like the one in the video. He lived for 20 years, such a long living cat. I loved him so much.
Love Tonks! We were lucky enough to have two. Miss them.
I want one!
Is it possible for a tonkinese cat with sepia(/solid/burmese) markings to have aqua eye color???
Some of the cats I've seen on the internet had aqua eyecolor but their bodies had so much color in relation to their markings, they didn't look mink let alone pointed
I currently have a black tonkinese
never in my life have i seen a more affectionate animal, these cats are wild!!!
Soooo Beautiful!!!!
my patronus omg
Gorgeous cat – I love her big, expressive eyes!
<3
what a beautiful kitty.
These breeds are loyal I know because:
1. Mine bit me during and altercation with a dog but she didn't know it was me afterwards she couldn't look at my hand, after that shes been over tentative since plus I got a scar.
2. I played dead once and she looked generally worried and waited for me to take a breath 😂
I can't see that she's right about the Tonkinese possibly being the origin of Burmese and Siamese. Siamese and Burmese breed true, but Tonkinese are a hybrid, and throw Siamese, Burmese or hybrid.
My neighbors one of two is mink with green yellowish eyes
I have been blessed with tonks for 20 years. Very demanding, but very loving, intelligent and beautiful. They are sisters and at 20 going strong
Hello Mr Bond shaking not stirred😊 handsome cat
Love him aw cute
Do tonks have an attitude problem?
Finally. A person who knows that short haired indoor cats don't need baths. I've seen way too many videos of clueless people who think it is necessary to force their terrified cats into bathtubs on a regular basis.

I had 2 amazing tonks as a child. I miss you Icey and Beanie! 💓💓
My Tonkinese are very talkative, active, well-behaved. They're the kind of lapcats every cat owner dreamed of. Mine like to climb on my shoulders while I'm doing house works. And when I pick them up & cuddle with them, they don't tend to run away. Instead, they'd cuddle with me, giving me kisses 'till they fall asleep. But the not so good about them, they're not aggressive & prefer to stay out of fight & often get bullied from my other cats from different breeds.
My Tonk is the biggest cuddle bug!
I love my two Tonks!! They are playful, loving children and grace my home with warmth and charm.
I love there meowing.
Beautiful cat I love him! I have a siamese boy and a a ginger boy.
antfrost is that you?
I adore Tonkinese.
My Tonk's name was Satina. She lived for 18 yrs. She was the best friend I ever had. I still miss her and she has been gone for 18 yrs. Cats are the best.
I miss my gigi. Found on the street when I got her. Anyway ADOPT. DONT BUY
this is an ameican champagne seal point burmese, the flattened face and rounded eyes gives it away. tonkinese isn't really a new cat breed, its a rebranding to be able to upcharge for kittens.
My boy is a champagne point Tonkinese and will handle anything from anyone. I feel 100% comfortable leaving him with a small child. So affectionate and loves being wrapped up in a blanket like a baby. My father — who doesn’t have patience for much — melts when he sees his little buddy. I decided on a cat for animal therapy for my child, then did A LOT of research. This breed is outstanding! My cat barely sheds, loves everyone, doesn’t bother with human food whatsoever. Other animals, vacuums, noises; nothing overwhelms him. He greets even strangers at the door and waits by it if he sees me putting my shoes on. People who have never had a cat, are afraid of cats, or have weird ideas about them, always ask me where I got my boy from. “How can I get one like this?” Truth is, yes, I chose him based on his breed traits, but you can find an amazing and wonderful cat at your local shelter. One who needs a home and love. I will be doing the same in future.
white folks with their geography lol.. Named the cat Tonkinese with the cat having no connection to the Tonkin region
Our Tonk was 18 when he when, increadible freinds an pusses. When my back went for three mounths Tonk would paw me twice a day to get me to roll on my front so he could curl up on my lower back an help with the healin.
His Beaty was Sadie da Slapper our long haired daxy. She would happily hump poor Tonk at least one a day depending on how Randy she was.
I can hear the shouts of protest .😂😂😂😂😂 needless to say he’s missed every day along with all the other dogs an cats.❤❤❤❤❤❤
What a awesome puss.😂😂😂
