Breed of the Week: Tonkinese

The personality of "Tonks" is as colorful as their coats, but don't be surprised at having a Tonkinese claim you as "his property." You'll just as likely have a Tonk consider your shoulder as his riding platform, should you be fortunate enough to have one of these lovely creatures run your home. Tonks love to play, and their extreme intelligence will come to play in inventing games to play with you, as well as other willing cats.

Give your Tonk plenty of activity toys, and work out with them regularly to keep them from being bored. A bored Tonk can be a mischievous Tonk, so if you are gone long hours, you might want to consider two of these splendid cats.
