Today, they appear in a wide color range in solid to patterned variations, but beware-they are also known for impishly stealing food from an unattended dinner plate! View our Devon Rex breed profile. Originating in Devonshire, England, when a stray cat gave birth to the unique mutation, the Devon Rex was welcomed by cat lovers who were determined to help the breed thrive.
This is a small (six-to-nine pound) cat with huge ears, curly hair, and an elfish, or pixie-like appearance, whose capacity for love and loyalty is often likened to that of a canine.
#GREY AND WHITE TABBY KITTEN SKIN#
The Mischievous Devon Rex Young brown and white devon rex catĪlthough there are no completely hypoallergenic cats, the Devon Rex is the least problematic for those with sensitive noses and skin because they don’t shed very much. Burmese cats typically have yellow eyes, but an occasional blue-eyed kitten is a stunning exception. The CFA currently recognizes both American and British Burmese in sable, champagne, platinum, and blue. The cat was bred with a Siamese, and these two felines became the ancestors of all modern Burmese cats, eventually leading to the development and addition of the Bombay and Burmilla breeds. The breed first appeared in the United States early in the 20th century when an American sailor brought a walnut-brown cat named Wong Mau home from Burma as a souvenir. Scoring on a recent list of the 21 most popular breeds in America is the Burmese. The Beautiful Burmese Sable and Chocolate Brown Burmese Cats As a result, there are fewer than 1000 Havana Browns left in the world today, however, new rules regarding cross-breeding established by the CFA show great promise for the future. A conscientious breeder will adhere to high ethical standards and avoid breeding animals that are closely related. Consequently, there are too few cats and they are too closely bred, making it extremely difficult for breeders to obtain unrelated breeding stock. Cross-breeding the Havana Brown was closed off before enough breeding lines were initially established, which resulted in a shrinking gene pool. Unfortunately, the Havana Brown is also distinguished by being currently endangered. The striking result is a creature that has the distinction of being the only solid brown cat-they even have brown whiskers! This combination produced a feline with a rich, solid, chocolate-brown coat and emerald eyes. It wasn’t until the 1950s when a group of British cat fanciers set out to fix the brown color gene in the Havana Brown by successfully crossing chocolate- and seal-point Siamese with black domestic shorthairs and Russian Blues. This kitten, named Elmtower Bronze Idol, would become the first Havana Brown to be registered in England. Although the point is contested, an accidental (or maybe not so accidental) breeding between a solid black domestic cat and a Siamese seal-point produced a brown male kitten. In the 1920s, the Siamese Cat Club of Britain discouraged the breeding of this particular line in favor of only blue-eyed cats. The most well-known, and rarest, of the brunettes is the Havana Brown, whose history begins in the late 19 th century when Swiss Mountain Cats were common throughout Europe and England. The Exceptional Havana Brown Cat Chocolate brown Havana cat Here are 11 brown cat breeds you will fawn over: 1. Who can resist a brown cat? Even more so if you are a chocolate lover!

Although not standardized for competition, other felines that are sometimes included in the brown family are the York Chocolate, the Chausie, the Oriental Shorthair, and the Tonkinese.

Among the 45 pedigreed breeds recognized by the Cat Fancier’s Association (CFA) there is only a handful of browns. Unless you’re a breeder or a frequent cat-show attendee, you’ve probably never seen a brown cat. But… I’m willing to wager a year’s supply of kitty litter that you won’t find anything on four paws to inspire the name ‘Hershey.’ Scarcity of Brown Cats You’ll also find a fair number of black, white, gray, and orange felines.
