the great state of New York and also because of its rich chocolatelike coat color. The brownblack coats of
York Chocolates are quite unique. Black cats are pretty common creatures as well as varieties of browncoated
felines. When you spot a York Chocolate, you’d know right away that it’s of a different breed.
If you’re interested in getting a York Chocolate cat, here are some of the interesting facts about the York
Chocolate Cat, which will give you some further insight into its characteristics and temperament.
1. York Chocolate Cat's History.
The York Chocolate breed was started in 19 83 when a blackandwhite spotted female farm cat named Blacky mated
with a longhaired black male named Smokey. Within that litter was one brown kitten, thanks to their Siamese
ancestry, and she was named Brownie. Janet Chiefari, the farm owner, took note of this unique kitten, who had
both charm and looks.
The following summer, Brownie had a litter of kittens, and one of her babies was a semilonghaired black male
who also featured a deep brown undercoat, which was quite unique. This kitten was named Minky.
A year after that, Brownie mated with Minky, and they had a kitten named Teddy Bear, who was solid brown. They
also had a brownandwhite female named Cocoa.
Chiefari started breeding the cats and spreading the word about them, and the experimental breed was accepted
in 19 90. By 19 95, it had CFF Championship status and Canadian Cat Association Championship status as well.
2. York Chocolate's Physical characteristics.
The York Chocolate Cat is a medium to large cat with a muscular body structure. The head is a rounded wedge,
the muzzle is moderately long. The large pointed ears tilt forward. The eyes are almondshaped and can be
green, gold, or hazel. The long fluffy tail is tapering towards the tip. The feet are welltufted. Overall, the
physical characteristics are very similar to traditional Siamese cats as the breed has Siamese heritage.

like the Abyssinian or Bengal, but want a lively and smart companion.
4. York Chocolate's Personality.
York Chocolates are an extremely friendly, eventempered breed. They strike a nice balance between high energy
and loving devotion. After a rousing session of fetch or catchthecatnip mouse, they want to snuggle into the
lap of their preferred person for some purring and petting. Although not generally vocal, York Chocolates are
enthusiastic purrers and make a characteristic questioning sound when announcing their arrival, or alerting you
to serious problems, such as empty food bowls.
Most Yorks enjoy being held and cuddled, on their own terms, of course, and are wonderful companions to the one
special human person with whom they choose to bond. Although they are usually oneperson cats and are
intelligently cautious of strangers, they are friendly and affectionate to their extended family, including
wellbehaved children.
Ordinarily, they get along well with other pets, as long as the proper introductions are made. Intelligent and
energetic, York Chocolates enjoy following their favorite humans from room to room to make sure all activities
meet with cat approval. Yorks are also inquisitive and curious and insist on helping their preferred persons.

things, literally.
