Cinnamon gene, History in Oriental and Siamese cats
Cinnamon Gene Cinnamon (BL) was produced in Siamese and Orientals by mating a Sorrel Abyssinian, 'Tranby Red Tutankhamen' to a Seal Point Siamese, 'Annelida Fair Maid'. This produced a brown agouti male a black agouti female, who then went on to produce 'Southview Pavane', the first Cinnamon Oriental. The light brown gene (bl), which produces cinnamon, is recessive, so both parents must be cinnamon or cinnamon carriers to produce cinnamon kittens. Fawn is the dilute of cinnamon, and to produce fawns both parents must carry cinnamon and dilute genes. |

Cinnamon gene - UNITED KINGDOM In the 1960's Maureen Silson, bred Southview Pavane, who was registered as a Havana, although her coat was far paler, than any other Havana Maureen had bred. Pavane's coat colour was the lovely light, rich colour, that is now known as Cinnamon (1971). Pavane as so far as it is known, was the first cat in the UK, to be bred in this new colour. Because Pavane was the 'first', all early Cinnamons were called "Pavanes", by their breeders. Maureen's breeding programme hit a setback, when she decided to import an Albino Siamese, from the USA, called Annart's Miiko. At that time in England there were no white cats, carrying the recessive white gene, which produced the white coat. At that time the GCCF, had decided the recessive white gene was undesireable in lines carrying the Cinnamon gene, and this set back some cinnamon breed lines, until the lines were cleared of this recessive gene.
