The Havana Brown is a cat from England. It originated from a cross between the Siamese and a number of English black cats. The Havana Brown can be recognised by its brown coat. The reason this species is called the Havana Brown is because the colour of its fur is very similar to the colour of the Havana cigar. Although this explanation is not one hundred percent certain, it is the most common and logical explanation for the name of this species. Do you want to know why? Then read on!<\/p>\n

The history of this warm cat<\/h2>\n

The history of this cat is quite interesting. This species originated around the year 1950. You sometimes hear that cats are discovered or made by accident. That is different in this case. In this case people acted with a purpose in mind. <\/strong>The goal was to make a real brown cat. This breed<\/a> originated when British breeders started to cross with different Shorthairs. Now and then chocolate brown kittens were born. These were born – so it became clear – when both parents were carriers of the gene for this colour. When two chocolate brown cats were crossed, a chocolate brown kitten was always born from that.<\/p>\n

It didn’t stop there. The cats from this first series continued to be bred in Britain under the name Chestnut Brown Foreign Shorthair. They continued to cross with Siamese. The aim was to create an Oriental type with an Oriental physique. Other cats were also sent to the United States on request and a new breed was created there. Eventually the Havana Brown came into being.<\/p>\n

The character of this unique species<\/h2>\n

The character of the Havana Brown is very similar to that of the Siamese. This is not so strange, because the basis of this species lies mainly with the Siamese. The Havana Brown is somewhat quieter than the Siamese and very suitable as a pet. In general, this cat is quite present and loves the Havana Brown very much to be outdoors in nature. <\/strong>It is important that you have enough time for this type of cat. They require a lot of attention. For this reason, this cat is also seen as a real family cat. <\/strong>If you have children in the house, it is certainly beneficial for the health of this cat. Make sure that there is often someone at home who can play with this cat for a while. If you are not home very often then it may be useful to purchase a number of other pets. If this doesn’t work out either, it might be wiser to buy a different kind of cat that is more independent and needs less attention.<\/p>\n

This cat is a real pet. Can’t you give the cat what it needs? Then make sure you choose a different breed. After all, there are plenty of cats who are good at being on their own. Furthermore, the friendly character of the Havana Brown ensures that he often gets along well with other animals. This cat is also quite curious and loves to go out and discover things. This cat is very playful and agile with its legs. This characteristic is something that really belongs to the Havana Brown.<\/p>\n

Another striking feature of these cats is that they love to play with people’s hair. They do this gently with their paws. So don’t be surprised if you are lying on the couch and your cat is suddenly playing with your hair. Let the cat do his own thing; it will do him a great favour!<\/p>\n

The coat of the Havana Brown<\/h2>\n

The Havana Brown has a very short and connected coat. The coat feels soft to the touch, has a fine texture and is shiny. The coat is soft and shiny with a solid warm brown colour. The original colour of the Havana Brown is brown but due to dilution the Havana Brown nowadays also occurs in lilac and chocolate brown. Kittens are often born with Ghostmarkings<\/a>. After about a year they disappear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The upbringing<\/h2>\n

Although the Havana Brown is not as talkative as the Siamese, he is very sociable and gets along well with children. It is suitable for any house in which people sit and also loves attention. It is therefore important for the kittens of the Havana Brown to get used to people in this way. It is not a good idea to take a kitten into the house and then almost always leave her alone. The cat is playful and that is important to understand from an early age and deal with the Havana Brown in this way. This has to do with socialising the cat.<\/p>\n

After about twelve to sixteen weeks the kittens can be taken away. It often happens in the twelfth week that the vaccinations take place. After this number of weeks, the cats have also had enough time to develop physically and socially and are ready to enter a new environment. From that moment on you play the crucial role in further education and care. By the way, the cat is also well prepared to participate in exhibitions after this number of weeks, which is popular abroad.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Diseases that are common in this cat<\/h2>\n

There are currently no known genetic diseases in this breed. This can of course be different as time goes on. At the moment of writing these are certainly not there.
