I think it is funny how many people are torn between tonks and burmese! I was certainly one of those people... in fact, originally I had my heart set on a burm. I've never regretted going for a tonkinese instead. My little girl Sina is very affectionate, very smart and has to be into everything. She likes to snuggle on the couch and spends every night sleeping either under the covers or next to me in bed. I love her so much it isn't even funny!

As to male v. female... I grew up with girls and have always preferred them. I find females to be better "one person cats." In my experience they bond well to a single person and while they may like other people too, they are very loyal to their one person. My mom, on the other hand, has found that her two most recent cats have made her prefer boys. Her boys (one is a sphinx and the other a devon rex) are far more outgoing than my two girls (Sina's best friend is a devon rex named Lea) and also play far more aggressively. Again, each cat is an individual, so they won't all fit the mold. I will say if I hadn't specifically wanted a girl it would have been much easier for me to find a kitten... when I was looking everyone had boys! So if you really don't care, it may make it easier to find a breeder with a kitten for you!

PS- I'm attaching a picture of Sina. She is a honey solid... which is a very unusual color, not in the standard natural, champagne, platinum, and blue.
