Summary
About Tonkinese
Tonkinese are medium-sized, muscular cats combining Siamese elegance with Burmese solidity. They have silky low-maintenance coats in mink, pointed or solid patterns and striking aqua to greenish blue eyes. Affectionate, playful, social and vocal, they thrive on attention and interaction.
About European
A curious, playful and adaptable shorthaired cat with a sturdy, agile body and a natural appearance. The European has roots in Europe’s original cat population and enjoys both family companionship and quiet time alone. It needs daily play, opportunities to climb and scratch, and a safe home environment. Its coat is easy to care for, and each cat’s temperament and experiences determine how well it gets along with children and other animals.
