The Tonkinese is a medium between the svelte Siamese and the cobby Burmese.
It comes in both the Siamese and Burmese coat patterns as well as the "mink" or
"Tonkinese" pattern, which is the medium between the two. Tonkinese minks also have
the distinctive aquamarine eyes. This is a breed with a slightly heavier body type
than that associated with the Siamese, and with a wider head and muzzle. The muzzle
is square and the nose is indented. Eyes are aquamarine blue with all coat colours.
The coat is short and glossy. Accepted colours and markings are as for the Siamese
and Burmese.
