Cats with brown fur are not as common as those with white, black or orange fur. There are some breeds, like Havana brown cats and Burmese cats, that are entirely dark brown. These cats are extremely rare, and they’re one of the few breeds to have a solid brown color.
Havana cats have their distinct color because of planned breeding between domestic black cats and Siamese cats. What also makes Havana cats and a few other brown cats stand out is their bright green eyes, which contrast perfectly with their fur.
For those of you who are lucky to bring home a kitten of this breed or any brown cat for that matter, consider a unique name for them that helps make them stand out even more.
If you’re not sure where to start with the naming process, then here are some cute and funny names for brown cats you may like.
