I don't speak much about Hop Sing as this is a German Shepherd forum, but he's the best cat I've ever had. I could tell you oh so many stories about him as he really is quite a character. This big super friendly Tonkinese is sure he's running this place and with 10 "switchblades" at the ready, the dogs don't argue that assumption. He loves both dogs a great deal and although he's known Odin all his life he's become especially close to Frigga this past year. They sleep cuddled up together and where one is in the house you can almost certainly find the other.
Aw, is it Siamese? They are the only type I like (that I've met so far).... <span style="color: #3333FF"><span style='font-size: 23pt'>HAPPY B-DAY</span>!</span>
Thanks everybody! Hop Sing really is "one of the dogs". How many cats come when they're called? How many sit on command? Give you their paw on command? Play fetch? He's alot of fun to have around. A big guy who enjoys his bouts with Odin and his cuddle time with Frigga. He's very special indeed!
No, Cindy, he's not a Siamese. He's a Tonkinese. Closely related but very different in many ways. The breed was created some decades ago (or longer depending on your source) as a cross between Burmese and Siamese. Burmese are large friendly somewhat sluggish cats and Siamese are athletic some say, psychotic cats. Cross the two and you get a large active friendly cat - the best of both breeds. They have long been a recognized breed in their own right.
