Photos of the best, 2nd best, and 3rd best championship Tonkinese cats from the first championship season in 1984-1985.

Titles: The inception of adding earned titles, such as BW for Breed Winner, to a cats name, started after the 90's. If the owner was dead, the cat's title could not be offically changed. Never the less, the appropriate titles have been added on this web page.
