Origin: In the early 1950s, two British breeders started a programme to produce a brown cat derived from a seal point Siamese and a black shorthaire with seal point ancestry. The result was a solid brown kitten. Similar experiments also took place in the U.S. where the first Havana Brown kitten was born in the same year. There is also evidence of brown cats of the Siamese type as far back as 1888 in Britain, although these early brown cats seem to have disappeared.

Characteristics: Havana Browns are Siamese in type, having long, svelte, lithe and muscular bodies along with a long, thin, tapering tail. Their coat is short, close-lying, glossy and fine with no tabby markings or white hairs.

Their eyes are green, almond shaped and slanted towards their nose. The hind legs are longer than the forelegs and have dainty pawsthat are small and oval. Their neck is long and slender.

Temperment: Havana Brown's are gentle and affectionate and they have quiet voices. The American breed is ceaselessly active and should be provided with lots of playthings. The British breed tends to be more vocal. The kittens have their adult coloring and have oversized ears that they will grow into.

Havana Browns are intelligent cats and will use its paws to both examine objects and to communicate with its owners.
