Welcome...



Well, since Tonks are half Burmese...you get the best of both worlds really. From what I've read of the Burmese, the Tonks possess all of the personality characteristics...when I was looking I wanted a Siamese for the coloring and beauty...but found the Tonk to be a better blend of color and with the Burmese personality...it was just the perfect cat for me...



I've never had a Burmese, but as far as satisfaction goes with having a Tonk...I have three running around the house right now and if it were up to my husband we'd have at least 2 more...



Rumor has it that the male cats are a bit more affectionate than the female cats...I've only had males...and mine are rediculously affectionate...Bentley our first, was so needy we had to get him a buddy, just so I could go pee in peace...



But there are a number of female Tonks on this board, Sina, Emily, Liat...who seem to be very very snuggly also...the temperment of the parents play a big role...



The coat will also vary depending on the parents Bentley and Fin come from the same line and have longer silkier hair like the Siamese...Alastair comes from my breeders champion line (which hold more of the Burmese traits because that is show standard) and his coat is shorter and denser...



Hope this helped...
