Havana Brown

This breed is another fairly recently developed type, having been systematically derived in the late 1940s in Great Britain. The Havana Brown is a medium-sized cat with a lustrous chocolate coat as its primary calling card. The British breed bearing this name is a brown variety of the Oriental Shorthair, while the American version is a separate breed with a distinctive body and head type. Though originally named for the brown color, a lavender frost color is also permitted in some associations. It has rather large ears and a slightly protruding muzzle, and usually glistening green eyes, all of which render it quite unique amongst the cat tribe. The Havana is typically rather quiet, but also ever-playful in wanting to be right in the middle of all the household activity.

Himalayan

Is there no end to the breeds of cats that are almost assuredly not from the lands for which they are named? The Himalayan is another of such breeds, actually a close relative of the Persian, but has the pointed pattern of the Siamese. The major distinguishing factor here is the Himalayan's pointed coat, which run to blue, chocolate, seal, red and cream, tortie, lilac, and lynx versions. The Himalayan shares most of other attributes with the Persian, including its winning personality. In some associations, Himalayans are considered part of the Persian breed. In Britain, the Himalayan is known as the Colorpoint Longhair.
