Havana Brown

If you are looking for a cat that's more dog like in nature, then you need to adopt a Havana Brown. They are believed to originate from a chocolate coloured strain of Siamese cats. They have also been called the Swiss Mountain Cat. These charming, extroverted cats are even comfortable walking on a leash. A brown cat with longish kind of head and a broad nose is an easy way to describe this breed.

They are what pet owners will call a dream cat. They are comfortable travelling whether you are flying or merely cruising around in your boat.Adaptable and intelligent, members of this breed make lovely pets.

The medium sized eyes of the Havana Brown are green in color, oval in shape, expressive, and positioned lower on the head than those of most other breeds. A high forehead with large, round-tipped ears, tilted slightly forward is the breed standard.

Ideally, the tip of the nose and the chin form a nearly straight line. The coat is short to medium in length, smooth with a distinct glow.

Ideally the coats should be red-brown (mahogany) rather than black-brown. The paw pads should have a rosy tone while the nose leather should be brown with a rosy flush. The whisker colours too should complement the coat colour. In older cats of course, the whiskers turn white as a natural process of aging.

Disqualifications include a kinked tail, locket or button, incorrect number of toes, any eye color other than green, incorrect color of whiskers, nose leather or paw pads.
