The
Tibetan cat or semi-longhaired Tonkinese blends the best features of its
ancestors into one beautiful, medium-sized cat that is remarkably dense
and muscular.
Whether appearing in the coat pattern of its Burmese predecessor, with
sparkling gold-green eyes, the pointed pattern of its Balinese ancestor,
with glittering blue eyes, or the “mink” coat pattern seen
in the show ring, with its unique aqua eyes, the Tibetan is an intelligent,
gregarious cat with a sense of humor.
These cats are firmly convinced that humans were put on earth to love
them; these are the cats that know they belong.
They purred their way through six years and a lot of presentations to
the board of directors of The Dutch Cat Breeders Association in their
pursuit of championship status, achieving their goal in 1997.
Although new to modern competition, the Tibetan cats are descendants of
the Tonkinese breed, the same breed that is depicted in "The Cat-Book
Poems of Siam" during the Ayudha Period (1358-1767), and imported
to England in the early 1800s as “Chocolate Siamese.”

The
colorful personality of the Tibetan make them ideal companions. They will
take possession of your lap and shoulder, and they will supervise your
activities. They are warm and loving, highly intelligent, with an incredible
memory and senses that are akin to radar.
They are strong willed, and their humans are wise to use persistent persuasion
in training them.
They are naturals at inventing and playing games, using favorite toys
to play fetch, and delighting in games of tag with each other. Of course
hide ‘n seek is a favorite game, which they play with humans as
well as other Tibetans.

They become your “door greeter” and will happily entertain
your guests. They have been described by enthusiastic owners as part puppy
(following their owner around the house), part monkey (their “acrobatics”
are legend!), and can sound like an elephant running through your house
when they choose. In short: they quickly take over and run your house
and your life! Their affectionate ways are impossible to ignore, and they
quickly endear themselves to family and visitors.
Caring
for Tibetans is as easy as feeding a well-balanced feline diet, clipping
their nails weekly (providing a scratching post and insisting they use
it is also imperative), using a soft brush to groom them, and of course
the all important visit to the vet for check-ups and inoculations.
These are best kept indoors, and a thorough inspection of your home prior
to your Tibetans arrival, to make certain screens and doors are secured,
will help insure they remain indoors. “Cat proofing” your
home, much as you would for a two-year old human on the loose, is bound
to save you frustration.
Toys and an interesting cat tree will help keep them occupied when you
have other things to do besides playing with your Tibetan. Working humans
find two Tibetans will keep each other company as well as lessen the mischief
one bored Tibetan can get into.

The breeder of this race makes kittens available between twelve and sixteen weeks of age. After twelve weeks, kittens have had their basic inoculations and developed the physical and social stability needed for a new environment, showing, or being transported by air. Keeping such a rare treasure indoors, neutering or spaying and providing acceptable surfaces (e.g. scratching posts) for the natural behavior of scratching (CFA disapproves of declawing or tendonectomy surgery and the breeder forbids it) are essential elements for maintaining a healthy, long and joyful life.
