This DA is dedicated to my 2 tuxedo cat, Lucas and Ollie. I have 4 other cats, but my tuxy boys especially love posing for me and take great pictures. They we're both adopted from the Manchester Animal Shelter. They now are entered in House Hold Pet cat shows, and they do great.





A tuxedo cat is a bicolor cat with a white and black coat. The derivation of the term tuxedo cat is self-explanatory, as the animal appears to be wearing the type of black tie formal wear commonly known in the United States and Canada as a tuxedo. Most tuxedo cats are also black mask cats, a common name for felines who, due to their facial coloration, look as if they are wearing a black mask over their eyes, and often over their entire head. To be considered a true tuxedo cat, the feline's coloring should consist of a solid black coat, with white fur limited to the paws, belly, chest, throat, and often the chin, although many tuxedo cats appear to sport goatees, due to the black coloration of their mandible -- that is, the lower jaw and chin.
