Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my!

Few differences between Siamese, Balinese and Tonkinese cats:

Siamese cats are vocal and intelligent, making noise to attract your attention and maintain it. Their long-haired brothers and sisters (known as Balinese because of their resemblance to the beautiful flowing skirts worn by the dancers of Bali, Thailand) are slightly less vocal but no less endearing. On the other extreme is the Tonkinese which was developed by breeding a Siamese with a Burmese. Tonks will talk until you obey or answer! All three related breeds; Siamese, Balinese and Tonkinese cats can be quite doglike in their faithful devotion to their owners. Because of their higher intelligence and their desire to be with their people, they can be trained to walk with a harness and leash, fetch a toy, and even do various tricks. Just bring out a camera and watch them perform!

Our adult cats are spectacular examples of their breeds.
