What is the temperament of a Ragdoll?

Tonkinese cat's social traits vary from cat to cat-with one common thread-everyone of them enjoys being with people. They can be vocal and talk away the day or be a bit of a thief with trinkets discovered-anywhere. Tonks do have many traits common with K9's-such as retrieving toys back to any willing "ball game" player.

They are trainable to do tricks, such as sit or high five if taught by a patient and gentle hand. They do have emotional tempers when treated roughly or ignored-and are duty bound to give equal payback-at a later time-when you least expect it by knocking over glasses of water or "tipping" something clearly breakable over-and will enjoy calmly watching your reactions of surprise when it crashes to the ground.

They have have deep and true hearts-with dedication shown to their owners, but will accept attention from houseguests. They will win the hearts of other housepets by action, never giving up attempts at friendship. They seem to enjoy lavishing attention on the most unwilling pet sidekick-until a bonding issues are resolved. Patience, tactile skill and planning are the Tonks strong suit for the unwilling dog-or cat housemate.

Tonkinese can enhance most peoples homes-with action and good humor, but do not do well if left alone for hours on end. Because of this needy tendency other house pets or a litter-mate would be advised. Lonely Tonkinese have high intelligence factors. When they are left alone to their own devices for hours on end-the promise unwelcome problems for their owner normally begin. Having one additional home pet sidekick distraction is normally is enough to keep the lonely Tonk busy-until the owner arrives.

Having a Tonk in your home-is not like having a docile "housecat". Having a Tonk in your home-is similar to inviting a real party animal-to live with you. Thankfully, this party animal has great beauty and will purr.

They can also have dog like personalitys. Most cats hate being rubbed on the tummy, and usually don't care if the doorbell rings. But Tonks do. They can go a bit crazy at night time to.
