Phabbay Tonkinese Cats – GCCF Registered Tonkinese Breeder in Scotland

My name is Wilma Morrison and I breed Tonkinese cats and kittens here in Scotland. My prefix, Phabbay, is registered with the GCCF and in Gaelic means ‘The Family of Morrison’. I am a small hobby breeder, breeding for health, temperament and type since 1984 – starting with Siamese in the early eighties and, for the past twenty years, our much-loved Tonkinese.

Looking for a Tonkinese kitten? Please get in touch – I am always happy to hear from anyone interested in the breed.

Introducing Our New Stud Boy!

Following the retirement of Ruari, we are absolutely delighted to introduce Tonkyway Theas Sterling.

  • Sunday name: Laughlan
  • Pet name: Lochie or Loki
  • Colour / pattern: Brown TCR (Tonkinese Colour Restriction)
  • Date of birth: 18th April 2026

We extend our warmest thanks and praises to his breeder at the Tonkyway prefix. This wee guy has the sweetest temperament and has settled in beautifully with us here in Scotland. As a third-generation Tonkinese, we plan to show him on the show benches soon and are highly hopeful for his future!

Ruari’s working days are over. He is now living his best life as a cherished family pet and is incredibly happy in his new home. His new owner is wonderful and sends regular photos and updates, which truly warms my heart.

About the Tonkinese: Personality & Temperament

Tonkinese cats are playful, highly intelligent and deeply affectionate companions that thrive on human and feline company. They are exceptionally social, fiercely loyal, and integrate beautifully into family homes with other pets. Because they hate being left alone, they are happiest when paired with another Tonkinese. These high-energy, vocal and incredibly curious felines are strong-willed and actively demand plenty of daily attention.
