Book excerpt: A silky, mink-like coat covering a muscular body, an intriguing variety of colors, a playful temperament, and entrancing aqua eyes are among the hallmarks of the beautiful cat known as the Tonkinese. Combining the grace, intelligence, curiosity, and elegance of the Siamese with the powerful body, laid-back nature, and rounded features of the Burmese, the Tonkinese is the "happy medium" cat, with a personality as pleasing as its appearance. The author, a devoted lover of the breed, guides both new owners and longtime enthusiasts through the history, standard, and selection of the Tonkinese and provides complete information about their general care.
