Why have a Siamese cat?
Because they are loyal, loving, playful, bold, some are more talkative than others. They will greet you at the door, they will play fetch for hours and often enjoy walking on a lead.
Then there is the all important point, they are beautiful, lean cats with long legs, large ears and blue eyes. They come in wonderful colour points.
The most common are Seal point, chocolate point, blue point, lilac point. However there are a variety of lesser known colours such as red point, cream point, caramel point, tabby point, and tortie point which are all recognized colours both for showing and breeding with the GCCF.

Why own a Tonkinese?
They have a silky, mink-like coat covering a muscular body, an intriguing variety of colours, a playful temperament and entrancing aqua eyes. Tonkinese combine 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.
