Tonkinese

A delightful, mischievous, quality combination of Siamese and Burmese, the Tonkinese cat has basically the same nutritional and supplemental needs as both the Siamese and Burmese, but tends to eat more than either. Obesity can cause your Tonkinese cat serious problems, so be careful not to overfeed. No free cat food feeding either. Also keep in mind that a Tonkinese, similar to a Siamese, has a definite intestine-cleansing need for fibre. If there are fibre insufficiencies in your pet's diet, you're likely to find that there will be insufficiencies in your sweaters, socks, and towels as well. Grow wheat grass so your cat can get enough healthy fibre. These cats can have ocular discharge, so an antioxidant formula or vitamin C is needed. Catnip tea may help keep his chatter to a minimum.
