Originated from the UK

The Havana cat was bred by British animal husbandry experts in the early 1950s. It is a hybrid of chocolate-point Siamese cats and British short-haired cats. Because its fur, whiskers, and nose are all brown, the same color as the famous Cuban Havana cigars, it is named Havana cat, which means cigar-colored cat.

The Havana cat has been famous for centuries because many people believe that the all-brown cat can protect its owner from bad luck. The origin of the Havana cat may be in Southeast Asia, and it came to Britain in the 19th century as a branch of the Siamese cat. In 1894, Master Timkey Brown first appeared at a cat show. It was described as a "Siamese cat with smooth brown fur and blue-green eyes". In 1930, the Havana cat became a full brown breed. In order to make this cat more rich and warm reddish brown on the basis of brown, British breeders conducted various combination experiments and mated Siamese cats with chocolate fur genes and chocolate spots with British black shorthair female cats to obtain offspring with changed color. After 1953, it was further mated with Russian blue cats, Siamese cats and other cat breeds, and finally bred today's Havana brown cats.

Like Burmese cats, the UK and the United States across the Atlantic have different standards for judging this cat. The British Havana cat looks more like the American exotic pure brown cat keepers, a Siamese cat; while the American brown Havana cat is closer to the Russian Blue cat than the Siamese cat, because the American Havana cat has a shorter head than the British Havana cat, but longer hair; and its body shape is a semi-dwarf horse type, not a muscular and solid type.

Havana cats have extremely high IQs. They can quickly remember their names, touch their owners with their paws to get their attention, or jump in front of their owners to attract their attention. Havana cats also have strong adaptability. As long as they can get the care and attention of their owners, they will not be affected too much even if they live in a family that needs to migrate frequently. But like other pets, Havana cats cannot be left alone at home for a long time.
