Havana Brown

Description / History     

What makes a Havana Brown unique? The first thing an admirer notices is the cat’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! 

The eyes of the Havana Brown are green in color, large, oval in shape, expressive, and positioned lower on the head than those of most other breeds. This gives the appearance of a cat looking down its nose. The resulting high forehead accentuates large, round-tipped ears, which are tilted slightly forward, lending an alert appearance. 

Its medium-sized body must be firm and muscular, exhibiting a sense of power, yet also showing definite elegance and gracefulness. Males tend to be larger than their female counterparts, usually weighing around eight to ten pounds, while the females average six to eight. 
The Havana Brown has a charming, pixieish manner and a soft, intimate voice. Unlike other breeds, which characteristically use their noses to investigate curiosities, the Havana Brown leads with its paws, touching and feeling. They often extend a paw as a means of contact or attempt to gain the attention of passersby. A people oriented breed, these cats quietly demand human companionship. 

This is the perfect cat for the person who wants a sociable, affectionate and intelligent feline friend. A cat as sweet in appearance and color as…chocolate.
