When You're Well and Truly Tonked

Introduction
My name is Candine Lee Jackson, and I am Tonk-a-holic. Yup, I freely admit having a “TO,” a Tonk Obsession. These gorgeous critters have taken over my life, home, and heart, and I own it gladly. And I’m NOT alone!
From the first meeting, Tonk owners quickly realize that the adage “Cats rule; dogs drool” is apropos, and the Tonkinese were put on earth to rule over its inhabitants. This highly intelligent, affectionate feline clown supervises its world and all humans as if born to this quest. “The Tonkinese is a natural at inventing and playing games, using favorite toys to play fetch or delighting in games of tag and hide-and-seek with other pets – or even humans.”1 Kitten-like and playful well into their senior years, Tonkinese greet visitors and engage their humans and other pets in their family in game-playing. Probably the only “downfall” of having a Tonk as part of a family is that they bore easily and often get into mischief: A closed door or drawer is a mystery to be solved, and toys must be rotated in and out of their space to avoid boredom.
Tonks are expected to be a major part of family life, and they prefer not to be alone. Cat videos and radios set to classical music or easy listening help soothe a lonely Tonk. However, having more than one Tonkinese is preferred, not only as a companion but also as a playmate and groomer. Remember, Tonks are like potato chips: One is not enough!

Please note: Tonks are conversationalists who often speak in essays, complete with footnotes. “Their vocalizing has a purpose and expects a response.”1 Tonkinese communicate well and presume: 1. A listener at full attention; 2. An answer from said listener; and 3. A solution to their issue from said listener. (No, I’m not kidding).
