About the Tonkinese
A cross between Siamese and Burmese, combining the best of both. Their eye color is uniquely aqua — a blend of Siamese blue and Burmese gold. Three coat patterns: pointed (Siamese-style), solid (Burmese-style), and mink (intermediate). Very social and do not like being alone. Will demand attention from their owners. One of the most vocal breeds. Active and athletic but also enjoy lap time.
