About

The Havana Brown is a rare, muscular shorthair breed prized for its uniform rich chocolate-brown coat and vivid green eyes — the only breed named for a cigar's color rather than its origin. Developed in 1950s England by crossing Siamese and domestic black cats, it's known for reaching out with a single paw to touch objects (and people) of interest.
