What
is a Tonkinese cat?
By the first Siamese
cats were also cats with tonkinese and burmese
markings, which were then described as "golden"
and "chocolate"
Siamese.
From these original cats from Southeast Asia,
the cats developed to the ultra modern sleek Siamese
and to the round, solid Burmees of this time.
The golden Siamese or Tonkinese was at first a
bit neglected, but fortunately, the Tonkinese
has been restored and is now especially in North
America and England very popular. In the Netherlands
the Tonkinese cat gets also more attention, which
this beautiful cat absolutely deserves!
The Tonkinese cat
didn't change all that much and still looks a
lot like the traditional Siamese. This and the
fact that he can come in all the original markings
makes the special features of this cat.
The typical color inheritance of the Tonkinese
can give it the soft contrasting markings of the
Mink Tonkinese with the super special aquamarine
eye color, the contrasting bright markings of
the Point Siamese with the striking blue eyes
or the soft shaded Burman or Sepia markings with
yellow-green eyes.
Despite of all this
different markings a Tonkinese cat is always a
Tonkinese cat. For example: a point marked Tonkinese
isn't a Siamese cat allthough it has the same
pattern as a Siamese.

The
Tibetan cat
The Tibetan cat is a semi-longhaired Tonkinese
cat.
The Tibetan cat is developed in Agnes Driessen's
cattery Anshira Waya out of crosses between Balinese
and Burmese cats and later out of Balinese and
Tonkinese with the gene for long hair.
It is developed since 1992 by Agnes
Driessen and is recognized in 1997 in the Netherlands.
The Tibetan is bred in the Netherlands, Belgium
and Germany.
A cattery in France is planning to breed the Tibetan
in 2010.
In 2008 the South African
cattery LoeLoeraai has bred a litter Tibetan kittens.

The Tibetan is an
elegant, nimble cat and is a real Tonkinese, both
in type as character. The big difference is the
beautiful bushy tail and the slightly longer coat
on the body.
The Tibetan cat is of average size with an oriental
body and head, firm and round as the traditional
Siamese.
The Tibetan has a sleek, silky, very soft, semi-long
coat which gives this oriental cat an extra stylish
look.
The fur has no undercoat. That is why he fur doesn't
tangle and sheds just a little.
Tibetans as well
as the Tonkinese come in three markings:
- Siamese marking (point) with blue
eyes,
- Burmese marking (sepia) with yellow
/ green eyes and
- Tonkinese marking (mink) with aquamarines
eyes.

Characteristics and nature
of the Tibetan and Tonkinese cat
The Tonkinese and
Tibetan are spontaneous and confident. They love
to communicate with their people. This breed is
gentle, playful, affectionate, social, naughty
and very cuddly.
It is a lively cat and very curious, they want
to know and take part in all that you are doing,
just to 'help', of course in their own way ...
(walking in front of your feet, talking when you
are on the phone, reading your newspaper and books
by lying on top of them, getting your things out
of your bag, etc.).
They love company and feel most comfortable when
they have a lot of room to have fun in and toys
you throw are quickly apported back for another
throw.
This cat has a sense of humor and often invents
new games, with their people or their catfriends.
They also know their name well - of course they
don't always listen to it ;-). The Tibetan and
Tonkinese are not happy when they are alone, they
require regular attention and love. If they think
they get not enough, they will ask for it on their
own way and they will usually get it because of
their enchanting character. When you feel bored
or a bit lost, having one or more Tibetans or
Tonkinese in the house will make you feel better
soon. Their stunts, remarkeble habits, beautiful
looks and good nature makes them an exceptionally
pleasant pet. You will always see something interesting
when you look at them.
It's a pretty smart cat and they do like to explore
the entire house, especially cabinets and forbidden
spots' are favorites. Outside trips make them
happy but their curious nature and kindness makes
them sometimes end up in places where you do not
want them to be. So keep an eye on them and do
not let them stray.
