Cats have a way of keeping us on our toes, and Tonkinese cats are especially good at it. One moment they are social butterflies, the next they are acting incredibly selective about something as simple as a treat, especially when Chicken Cat Treats are involved. If your Tonkinese only accepts treats from one specific person in the house, it can feel confusing, amusing, and even a little personal. The good news is that this behavior is deeply rooted in trust, bonding, and how cats perceive safety and consistency.

Rather than being stubborn or dramatic, your Tonkinese is communicating something important about comfort, routine, and relationships within your home.
