Synopsis
A silky, mink-like coat covering a muscular body, an intriguing variety of colours, 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.

Easy read for everyone, very general
28. Juli 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Nice book, although I did find it a tad bit disappointing! Why?
I got the book before I got my two Tonk kittens, so it was an o.k. starter book.
The book talks a lot about the lovely characteristics about Tonkinese cats and to this I have to agree as I have here 2 very sweet, adorable and gentle purring kittens!
The book however, lacks information that I think are important. It does not mention in detail about the origins and the possible health problems that may occur or originate from the original parental breeds. This is important information to have if you are considering any purebred animal.
The book also covers very minimally on areas regarding pedigrees, various colours, points and torties (as breeders may have different abbreviations for the same colour) deciphering registration and pedigree papers and other documents. This is crucial information especially when talking to your breeder or prospective breeders about your preferences (if any) and about the quality of his animals.
The lack of clarity in the book about what is accepted or not accepted (either colour or healthy physical structure) by the various clubs and associations or what you should look out for when choosing a Tonk kitten is also disappointing. I think regardless of whether you are planning to show your cats or not, if they are of show quality, pet quality or breeding quality,it is good information to have, particularly if you are interested in the breed itself and not just simply owning a cat. Most importantly, it tells you how dedicated the breeder is to his animals and breeding them to produce healthy offspring and not using them as a money-making venture. This might be very important if you are getting your cats shipped to you.
The information about feeding, grooming and caring offered in the book can easily be found in a good book on cat ownership, without having to go specifically to this book.
Overall, I think the book offers a very general skim of Tonkinese cats. If you are seriously considering Tonks, I would recommend that you DO get this book to get a general idea, but also get a good book on good cat ownership as well as Linda Vousden's "Tonkinese Cats". These 3 books combined should give you a very interesting and thorough understanding of what buying and owning Tonks mean.
Good Luck!!!

Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This short paperback book is way, way, way overpriced. The information in the book can be researched online for free, although it is nice to have it in one neat little file. It has a collection of beautiful photos of Tonkinese cats, which to me is a big plus. But the bottom line is that at this price I expected a longer more detailed book, particularly since it is just a paperback. You can read this in it's entirety in one sitting.
