Has anyone ever seen a cat this color?

Question

I love my kitty, especially since I've never seen a brown cat before! Do you think it may be part Havana Brown? What else could have caused it?

Answer 8

It is just playing. Just don't encourge it to play with your hands. Get a toy instead, or you'll be incouraging a very bad habbit that will be hard to break.

Answer 9

aw! your kitten is just adorable! but yes, it is normal for kittens to bite hands and feet. Mine does that a lot, and my mom says they grow out of it in time. if your kitten wont let go, slide your fingers under the roof of its mouth and it gets its teeth out. Good luck with your kitty!

Answer 10

yes I have seen cat that are brown.. it is adorable. Cats as not like dogs most a " domestic   short, medium, or long hairs"  while there are spesific breeds in cats most pets are not pure blood I guess we cat peopple just dont need papers to tell us our pets are special.

Answer 11

Sounds beautiful ...  I had a cat who had a slight green cast ..  honest ...  she was mainly a tabby but went definitely green in the sunshine ...  My vet said she probably just had a huge amount of iron in her system ...  especially since she was pregnant. ...  nature's wisdom....

About the biting ...  present your fingers, which she/he will find irresistible.  When he/she bites, CLASP her mouth with your thumb and forefinger holding either the upper or lower jaw ...  meaning one finger will be at the roof of the mouth and the thumb will be outside of the mouth around her/his nose.  Likewise, when he/she bites you may be able to clasp the lower jaw with your finger or thumb, inside the mouth at the tongue and at the bottom of her/his chin.  Apologia .. this is easier than I have managed to describe herein!  Anyway, when he/she bites, grab her jaw or chin back!  Not painfully, just hold it.  This makes it very unsatisfying for the cat ...  I've done it successfully with at least a dozen cats....

Answer 12

I haven't but your kitty is way cute! You should be a proud Mama! : )

Answer 13

Awww...that kitten is adorable....anyhow to get it to leave you alone so you don't get hurt:  

At the pet store they have this stuff called "Yuck" or something similar...you can spray it on you when you just going to be home, it has no odor to you but to them it will and if they touch you, then l**k it, they wont do it again, plus you can use it on furniture you dont want her to claw at....

then you also want to get some cat nip to put on her bed or scratching post or toys so she knows that those are hers to play with and it will be like a reward and she will learn that those things with catnip are funner than you hands and feet to attack.

Answer 14

I can't answer about the coloration, but he sure is a cute little guy.

Here is what I can tell you about your kitty's rough-housing.  Never play with a cat or kitten with your bare hands. They will wrestle and mock-fight with their siblings, their mother, or any cat that becomes a buddy to them, it is part of how they gain strength and learn to protect themselves when they are out in the wild. The other cats have nice thick fur that offers protection from those sharp little claws and teeth - the kitten does not realize that it's human friends do not have the same protection. There are plenty of interactive toys that you can use to play with the kitten - including some really wacky looking glove thingies that have extended fingers. I have also used an animal-shaped oven mitt to wrassle with my cats, plus there is always the perennial favorite game "mouse under the bed covers" (um... the risk to this one is that having the kitten associate the bed with playtime might encourage him to wake you up in the middle of the night to play more often than he would already, but I do it with my cats because it is so darn cute).

Sometimes a petting or brushing session suddenly turns into a biting session, or your kitten somehow gets his teeth into you in spite of your precautions while playing. When that happens, try to control your instincts to pull away immediately - that is what a prey animal would do, and it excites the feline more. Instead, you want to push in towards kitten's mouth or body - gently, mind you. So if he's got your finger in his teeth, you will calmly, gently push your finger further into his mouth. The same principle applies to getting out of the kitten's grasp when the claws have sunk into your skin - push in towards kitty's body rather than pulling away.   The goal here is not to punish by sticking your finger down his throat or to hurt in any way, but to surprise the kitten with an action that will cause him to release you. Also, if you can, try to imitate a feline growl - it is one of the ways his mother would have used to correct his behavior when it was not acceptable to her. If you cannot (I know I can't get it right) a firm, calm "No!" will do the trick. Then you back off for a time, and use the social pressure of ignoring the kitten for a while to give the kitten time to calm down and to realize how unacceptable his behavior was.

I know a squirt from a spray bottle can be a valuable training aid in some situations - like scratching at furniture - but I prefer not to use something that startling and unpleasant when one is in close contact with a cat, because it may escalate fear, which might escalate into aggression, and I prefer not to have my cats associate those feelings of heightened aggression with playing with me.
