Tonkinese Coat-Patterns
This is probably the most discussed, and written about, aspect of the breed because its genetic behaviour is unique among cat breeds.  In the UK, under the GCCF, we use the descriptions: - Burmese Colour Restriction (BCR), Tonkinese Colour Restriction (TCR) and Colourpointed Pattern (CPP).

Take a look at my slide show presentation 'Three Tonkinese Coat-Patterns'

You can also read more about the genetics of the Tonkinese coat-pattern in the books
'Tonkinese Cats' and 'Tonkinese Cats - A History'

Some people still write that when Tonkinese are mated together they produce Tonkinese, Burmese and Siamese kittens - this is nonsense.    Tonkinese mated together can only produce Tonkinese kittens.
