Tonkinese Characteristics

They come in three different color patterns, but the mink color with aqua eyes is the
only color to be shown. This is the only aqua-eyed cat breed! One of the recognized
color patterns is indeed the color point, which has a contrasting color of body fur
in comparison to its darker points (like the Siamese). The other two recognized
patterns are mink and solid, though the solid isn’t completely solid but rather less
contrasting in color than the previous two patterns. They come in platinum, blue,
natural, and champagne.
Tonks are a medium sized breed, but their weight will surprise you because they
are muscular and quite heavy for their size. Their coat is short, thick, and very
soft. They have a slightly wedge shaped head and large, open almond shaped eyes.
Their look reminds people of the apple head (or traditional) Siamese.
