History

The Havana Brown, formerly known Chestnut Brown Foreign was developed by a chance mating of a British Seal Point Siamese and another black shorthaired Siamese in the 1950s. It produced a chocolate male kitten named Elmtower Bronze Idol, which is the first registered Havana Brown in England and the predecessor of the present day Havana Brown cats. The breed is named after the rich brown color of the tobacco used to make Havana cigars.
