My brother got 2 Tonkinese cats a few years ago and they are easily the prettiest cats I've ever seen. Cool blue/green eyes, slight off-white coat with coffee-colored faces/paws/ears.

Here's some pics of my bro's cats:

Those eyes are spooky. If I didn't despise cats for being disloyal bastard ingrates, I'd get one of those.

Edit: Yeah, how much does a cat like that cost?

Love the eyes, but how is there temperament, and how much did he pay?

They're very relaxed cats and like to play. The one with the super blue eyes recently had surgery (to remove wire from it's stomach) and is a little shy around people now.

No idea on cost, never asked.

It might not be full blooded, but somebody dumped a cat that looks mostly Tonkinese on our street. We ended up keeping it, very mischievous cat even for cat standards. Gets into everything, and loves to play. Still a kitten so I'd imagine she'll mellow out as she gets older. But I've never seen a cat that explores shit as much as she does.

Some friends of mine have a pair of Tonkinese cats. They are beautiful and quite active/friendly.

For some reason their male has taken a liking to me and jumps into my arms if he gets nervous.

They look a lot like Siamese...and those are some sneaky bastards.....I mean all cats are sneaky...but Siamese are the kind that will steal your car if they could.

Tonkinese are a cross between Siamese and Burmese. They are known to be friendly and not needy, though.

My cats are pretty awesome. My girl is kind of homely, but she's a real sweetheart, and they don't come more affectionate. My tom's a shithead, but he has tons of personality, and striking good looks :^)

Tonks are Siamese and Burmese blended cats. The most intelligent cat I ever had was Siamese, and I don't mean "that's a smart cat" I mean, "Holy shit, really!"

If I get another cat it'll probably be a Savannah.
