Oh, how I wish I could, but I'm still not able to do so.  I even asked a tech today and we don't know why this is happening.  So I'll just have to enjoy other cats' photos

I don't know exactly 
 He is a mix breed, I adopted him as a stray. His mom was a tortoiseshell stray kitty and his sibblings were calicos, orange-whites and gray-whites.. Grizzly was the only brown baby of the litter.

I suspect he has some Havana Brown in him, cause of his color.. And the vets have told me he has some oriental breeds in him, cause of his body structure and behavior..

Thanks for the compliment, @imjustacatmom

Wow, is he COLORFUL!  He looks like he could be a black SIamese (this is what happens when a Siamese cat and a black cat have romantic interludes).  
VERY handsome!

"Romantic interludes".. 
 Good one! 


I've heard that in order to breed the Havana Browns, one option was to pair chocolate-point Siamese with black domestic shorthairs. Another version of the story was that they combined like 5 oriental breeds.. I'm not sure how it goes, as I don't know much about genetics or cat breeding..

2 of his sisters were chocolate calicos. So, I'm guessing Grizzly and his 2 sisters might have been of the same father.. Not sure for the rest of the litter though 
 

Are you saying that if a Siamese and a black cat "get it on", the result would be a brown kitty, @Tarasgirl06

Yes, that CAN be the result.  I've personally seen this; for instance, my family's second cat was rescued as a kitten in the middle of the street in back of ours, where he was sitting by his Siamese mother, who had been hit-and-runned.  
  He was a magnificent longhaired black cat with very silky fur that had a reddish (brown) cast.  I've also seen other cats whose moms were Siamese and whose humans didn't get them spayed; they did have "romantic interludes" with handsome ebony princes, and the results were shorthaired black cats with reddish-brown casts to their fur.  I'm not at all a proponent of selective "breeding" in cats (or humans, for that matter) -- but these are results I have personal knowledge of.
