About Us
Blueberry and Oscar, the Cats of the Day
Name: Blueberry, Oscar
Age: Two years old, one and a half years old
Gender: Male
Kind: Tonkinese
Home: Falcon Heights, Minnesota, USA
 
   This is Blueberry (on the left) and Oscar (on the right). Blueberry is a two-year-old blue solid Tonkinese, and Oscar is a 1 1/2 year old platinum mink Tonkinese. They are quite wonderful. Blueberry is a jumping prodigy, and Oscar will play fetch for hours. They are quite vocal, and very friendly. They are half-brother and sister (they have the same mother). The Tonkinese breed is recognized by the CFA, and they were bred originally by mating a Siamese and a Burmese cat. As such, they have the vocal characteristics of the Siamese, but the loving nature of the Burmese. They are relatively heavy cats, but look very sleek (for example, Oscar weighs about 12.5 pounds currently). Their coats are extremely soft, and have several layers of hairs, including a very downy undercoat. Their eyes are a beautiful aqua green color, which is only found in this breed. I would highly recommend this breed to anyone who is unsure about having a cat. My cats are really good with kids, and they are very friendly to newcomers.
