Havana

Though a deep solid brown (almost black), the Havana (also called Havana Brown) has Siamese ancestry, which is obvious from the long slender build, triangular face and slanted eyes.

There is no direct connection with Havana, Cuba; breeders chose the name because the cat’s color reminded them of Havana cigars. (Go figure.) Like the Siamese, the Havana is alert and playful and requires a lot of attention, which is usually given, given the cat’s talkative nature.
