Tonkinese.
Tonkinese, breed of shorthaired cat with subtle colorpoints (characteristic large spots of darker fur on the face, ears, legs, and tail contrasting with a lighter body
coloring), the result of crossing Siamese and Burmese cats. The Tonkinese is the only pedigree breed to originate in Canada.
A surprisingly heavy cat for its size, the Tonkinese has a medium-sized, muscular body with fairly long, slender legs. The back legs are longer than the front legs. The
medium-sized, wedge-shaped head is slightly rounded and longer than it is wide with high cheekbones and a square muzzle. Medium-sized ears sit atop the sides of the
head and tilt forward slightly. The ears are wide at the base and end in rounded tips. The medium-length tail tapers to a blunt tip.
The eyes of the Tonkinese distinguish the breed. They are aquamarine to turquoise--a blend of the blue eyes of the Siamese and the gold eyes of the Burmese. The
medium-sized eyes are set widely apart and slant upward at the outer corners. The soft, luxurious coat of the Tonkinese is a distinctive, mink-like fur. Coat colors
include natural, blue, honey, champagne, and platinum.
The Canadian Cat Association officially recognized the Tonkinese breed in 1965. It is now recognized by all cat associations.
