Havana Brown Kittens for Sale - Cat Breed Information

Size : Medium

Origin : Great Britain

INTRODUCTION
The Havana Brown noted for its warm, chocolate brown colour originated in Great Britain. Brown cats have been known for centuries. Their origins were probably from South East Asia as a branch of the Royal Cats of Siam. They first arrived in Britain in the 19th century along with the importation of the Siamese.
The Havana Brown cat was developed in the 1950s by crossing a British Seal Point Siamese with another black shorthaired cat of Siamese descent. An accidental breeding between a black shorthair and a seal point Siamese produced a self-chocolate male kitten named Elmtower Bronze Idol, the first Havana Brown to be registered in England and the forerunner of the present day breed. These cats were formerly known as Chestnut Brown Foreigns.

In the mid-1950s, Mrs. Elsie Quinn, Quinn Cattery, imported the very first Havana Brown from England, a female named Roofspringer Mahogany Quinn. She was bred to Laurentide Brown Pilgrim of Norwood, also an import, and produced the very first Havana Brown (Quinn's Brown Satin of Sidlo) to achieve grand champion status in CFA. All Havana Browns in North America today can trace their heritage to this cat.

APPEARANCE
All Havana Brown cats are a rich, glistening dark brown with just a hint of red. The colour must be even from nose to tail and from tip to root. Whiskers should be brown; nose leather and paw pads are a rose colour that harmonises with the coat. Since Havanas are a shorthair breed, routine grooming is kept to a minimum.

CHARACTERISTICS
The Havana Brown not only has a unique appearance, with it's rich mahogany brown coat and brilliant green eyes, but also a truly unique personality. They are gentle and affectionate, people-oriented, soft voiced cats that are very loyal and loving toward their humans. They love human companionship and are very generous with their affections in return. Havana Brown cats are very playful even once they begin to mature. They are very active and energetic cats that love biting paper and cardboard as well as playing tag and other games with their humans. They also often have the unusual habit of using their paws to investigate strange objects by touch, instead of relying on their sense of smell, as do most other breeds This is the perfect cat for the person who wants a sociable, affectionate and intelligent feline friend.
