Tuxedo cats are nature's version of elegance and sophistication. Indeed, tuxedos are always ready for the ball. So what is a tuxedo cat? Is it a cat breed? Is it just a color pattern? The answer to the second question is no, tuxedo cats are not a breed of cat. They just happen to have a very unique coat and color. In fact, tuxedo cats are bi-color cats. They are true black and white feline beauties. This answers the third question.

Model Tuxedo Cat

Now, the answer to the first question (? What is a tuxedo cat) is that for a cat to be a tuxedo cat she must have the following characteristics:

    It must be solid black throughout her entire body (except for a few white spots).
    The white patches must be on her chin, chest, belly and legs.
    She must have more black than white.

Tuxedo cats look as if they are wearing a tuxedo. That is why they are called tuxedo cats.

It is important to note that all cats are black and white tuxedos. There are cats bi-color, black and white are not tuxedos. Some of these cats, for example, may be more white than black, or be half white and half black, white or have throughout their bodies strong and just a few specks of black. These kitties are not considered tuxedos.

Do you know a famous tuxedo?

Now that we have established what makes a tuxedo cat, we must celebrate some cats known tuxedo.

Tuxedos were immortalized in Old Possum's book of Practical Cats, a poem by TS Eliot in which a tribe of black and white cats are the protagonists.

Other famous tuxedos include Silvester the Cat (of Looney Toons fame), Felix the Cat (that wonderful, wonderful cat who became a star of the silent era and beyond), and of course Socks, former President of the cat Clinton. Socks joined the list of many cats who have called the White House their home.
