I have both a male tonk Rigby (6 months older) and an American shorthair female Izzy. I had Rigby first, about 6 months old and Izzy was 8 weeks old when I got her. Rigby is exceptionally affectionate and a true lap cat. And Izzy is aloof - doesn't always want to be held, and is more of a scardy-cat. It took about a week, but they get along great. It's a perfect union. I've never had a female Tonk, but I've always heard the boys are super cuddly. Rigby definately is a love bug. I'm actually not sure who is the Alpha cat in our house. When it comes to play time, Rigby backs off and lets Izzy take over. But when it comes to food, Rigby will shove Izzy over and eat her plate! Either way, I know they cannot live without each other. They always follow each other into the same room...and that room is usually where the people are!
