Cats love their coats! No mammal is as assiduous in keeping its coat as clean and unruffled as the domestic cat. Given the amount of preening cats are prone to, consider naming your cat after one of his most prized possessions, his pelt. Here is a comprehensive list of unique brown cat names for tan to chocolate colored coats, as well as everything in between.
Who Are the Brown Cat Breeds
Cat breeds come in many shapes, sizes and types of coat. Some breeds, chiefly the Abyssinian, Burmese and Havana Brown, are defined, in large part, by their brown coats. Others have spots and swirls in varying shade of browns, golds and blacks such as the Bengal cat and the Ocicat. While others still, such as the Himalayan and Ragdoll, sport the Siamese cat coat pattern of “points,” which are frequently chocolate or seal in color.
