| The Havana Brown +ACY-nbsp;Cat |
The Havana Brown is unique
to gaze upon, and even more delightful to enjoy as a companion. Blessed
with a pixyish soft voice, the traditional Havana Brown usually
exhibits the peculiar trait of using his paws to feel, touch, and
investigate items as opposed to other breeds who characteristically use
their sense of smell to investigate curious items. One of their
endearing qualities is their typical greeting of elevating and
stretching out one paw to touch their human friend, or offer a paw in
friendship. These charming cats quietly require human companionship.
Affectionately sociable, sweet, and considerate by nature, they are
quite even-tempered, gentle, and intelligent.
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.

What makes a Havana Brown
unique? The first thing an admirer notices is the cat+ACY-rsquo;s
glistening mahogany-toned brown coat. Their other incomparable feature
is the distinctive head that is slightly longer than it is wide. When
viewed in profile, the prominent, broad nose has a definite stop at the
eyes. A pronounced whisker break combined with the strong square chin
forms a somewhat rounded muzzle, which appears to be a protrusion of
the head, sometimes referred to as a corn cob or the end of a light
bulb. There is a pronounced break in the bone structure that can be
felt when grasping the muzzle with the fingertips. It is unmistakable
and no Havana Brown is ever without it!
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.
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.
Calling all Chocoholics. This is the breed for you. These are for the
connoisseur of chocolate, which is their only coloration. Their true
appeal comes from their nicely balanced personality, which is not to
active, nor are they couch potatoes. They tend to use body language to
get their point across.

Most changes are agreeably adapted to with remarkable confidence and
poise. They have learned the art of give-and-take. This unflappable
breed instinctively molds itself to your habits and is more dog-like in
temperament because it seems willing to please. Diversified lifestyles,
with children, elderly or all those in between are taken on with style
and ease. Havana Browns crave and thrive on human attention, so be
ready to share your household activities with this non-intrusive
personality. Some are natural shoulder sitters. Like their Traditional
Siamese forebears, they enjoy the game of fetch, and are often seen
carrying toys around. Even leash training goes will with them. With
eyes that twinkle with curiosity, glow with mischief or narrow to pure
contentment, they can captivate you with their permeating, discerning
gaze. Expressive ears are almost always in constant motion, taking in
their surroundings with great interest.
Coming with a short coat, the Havana Brown is an easy care cat. A once
a week brushing to remove any loose hair is all that is needed.
With astonishing, mesmerizing, vivid, green eyes, rose-toned nose and
rich mahogany colored coat the Traditional Havana Brown is a
magnificently impressive, living portrait of deep vivid color and
attractiveness.
