Tonkinese are intermediate in temperament between Siamese and Burmese — talkative but not deafening, devoted but not clingy. They live 14–16 years.

- 6–12 lb adult; short coat with mink, point, or solid pattern.
- Aqua-blue eyes are breed-distinctive.
- Lives 14–16 years.
- Generally healthy.
Safety — what actually goes wrong
- Indoor only — friendly with strangers, will follow them out.
- Microchip + Boop breakaway tag.
- Annual cardiac screen from age 5.
