Havana Brown Cat
Side elevation drawing of a Havana Brown Cat with dimensions for typical height and length

The Havana Brown, considered a very rare and endangered breed, is a cross between the Siamese and domestic black cats, resulting in a rich, chocolate brown cat. Medium in size, short-haired, and muscular, this cat has a triangle-shaped head and square-shaped chin. The Havana Brown cat is mainly without any extreme features apart from its warm color, smooth in texture and leaning closer to a red-brown than a black-brown. Considered active and curious, the Havana Brown loves to explore and examine with its paws. It loves to play and often develops deep attachments to its owner.

The typical Havana Brown Cat has an overall height of 9”-11" (23-28 cm) and body length of 12”-15” (30-38 cm). An average Havana Brown weighs between 8-10 lb (3.6-4.5 kg) and has a typical lifespan of 15-20 years.
