Tonkinese fun facts

Fun Facts:

The Tonkinese is named after the Southeast Asian Bay of Tonkin.

The Tonkinese was the first ever cat breed to have been developed in Canada.

All modern Burmese cats can be traced back to Wong Mau, a cat transported in 1930 from Burma to the States, but funnily enough she was found to be a Siamese/Burmese hybrid -- i.e. a Tonkinese in today's cat terminology.
