i want to kiss that cat
ah. I could be wrong. I only went by what I learned about Havana Browns via Cats 101 and research on the web (I wanted to get one for a while and wanted to learn more). I learned that brown whiskers are a required trait that Havana Brown's must have
I didn't realize brown whiskers could carry to other breeds too! Thought it was just HB's only trait
It's probably a required trait for show and breeding quality cats which is why it was said in the show. And most of them (even pet quality) likely have brown whiskers because it's the only color they try to get.Originally Posted by Draco

*eta* Now that I keep staring at that kitten pic, it really does look like she has white undercoat (roots of the hairs). Am I just imagining?
I see that you are in Maryland--why don't you enter her in the HHP competition at a cat show? She would probably do very well, and she is young enough that you can train her to become a show superstar! My cat club has a show coming up the first weekend of June in the Baltimore area, and I know a number of judges would love to see such a rare beauty. At the very least, our color and breed experts can figure out just what she is!

PM me for more information if you would like. It's a great show!

She is sooooo beautiful !
Maybe the reason she's so brown is because someone - that wears brown lipstick - has been kissing her all over ?
I can't wait to see her in about a year - be sure and post her 1 year old pic so we can see her then.

She looks very much like a little feral boy I rescued back in the early 80s.
He was from generation upon generation of feral moggies.
His adopters named him Hershey lol

Her whiskers are indeed brown. Her underbelly isn't white, really, but some of her brown hairs on her belly have lighter colored roots. I know absolutely nothing about cat shows, but I think it would be super fun to go to one with Kiwi (brown kiddin). She is the wildest, craziest kitten I've seen all year, and I have fostered a BUNCh of wild crazy kittens in the past few months. Literally climbs the curtains. I thought that was only in cartoons....
OMG!
That must the the cutest kitten EVER!!!!!
She's beautiful. I would definitely try entering her in some HHP shows! If you need help with that or have questions, the people on this board were very helpful to me when I started showing my HHPs.
As far as the color, it is also possible that it could be due to a random mutation rather than being inherited from the parents/from a specific breed. From what I've read it only takes one nucleotide to be altered to result in a brown/chocolate coat color.

Just wanted to say hello. What a gorgeous kitten! And I like the name Kiwi, too.

Well thanks everyone! She is an awesome kitten. I think we will try HHP showing when she's a bit older, sounds like a blast...
I think we need new kitten pics now
I hope you stick around so we can watch this baby grow up
