| Above and to the left can be seen two Tintoretto tonkinese. Both Chloe a blue tonkinese, and Chloe a lilac tonkinese can be seen with their companions The white moggie is called Rupert and they all get on famously. | When introducing a new cat or kitten into a household which already has cats one must be patient as it is a delicate matter. However, the tonkinese nature is such that it loves feline companionship and they will invariably bond quickly. |

We began the year 2002 with a clutch of eight kittens: Mali's third litter. The dad is Tonkitu Flynn, see below, and we are delighted with the offspring who more than justify the 600 miles incurred in making two return journeys to Ilfracombe. There are four males and four females which is neat. Ruby, seen below left, a chocolate tortie with a tonkinese coat pattern now owned by Michelle and Chris, is being shown. |
