Are Tonkinese cats affectionate?

Yes, most Tonkinese cats are quite affectionate. They’re often described as people-oriented because they really enjoy spending time with their human companions. This trait comes from their Siamese and Burmese lineage; both breeds are known for being loving and social. 

Tonkinese cats thrive on interaction and often follow their pet parents around, wanting to be part of whatever’s going on. They love snuggling up and are usually quite happy to curl up on a lap or sit beside you, making them great companions for those who want a cuddly, engaging pet.
