A tuxedo cat is a bicolor cat with a white and black coat. The derivation of the term tuxedo cat is because 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. Bicolor may also appear in the skin color. Paw pads may be black or pink. Bicoloring of the nose and mouth are also common.

I would like to take a minute to share how our tuxedo cat joined our family. We have a bobtab named Chopper. He loves to roam our woods. Sometimes he brings us little souvenirs back. One day he brought back a female tuxedo cat. She was very thin and looked sick. He wood give up his food for her.( after we were not around ) We watched, fascinated. We put two bowls of food out. Still, he continued to give his up also.A month went by and Oreo ( that's what we called her ) began to look even thinner and sicklier. Taking her to a vet was impossible, for we could not get near her. To our dismay we discovered that she had tumors. They were very large and she was very weak. We discussed a way to help her. We decided that we would have to catch her and have her put down. We were feeling horrible about our decision, when we caught sight of her crossing the yard with a tiny kitten behind her. Our dilemma now was to help both mother and kitten. As it turned out we didn't need to worry.Over the next two weeks Oreo kept the kitten on our back porch. Chopper kept a close eye on both of them. We did worry because Oreo was fading fast.We kept her as comfortable as possible with pain meds. All the time we were gaining trust from the kitten. We could touch and play with her. One day Oreo was gone. Chopper was on the porch with the kitten. We waited all day. That night she returned. We passed the test. She left the kitten with us all day. It was her approval. The next day as she slipped away, I held her in my arms. I promised her that I would love and care for her baby that she entrusted to us.Oreo rest in our back yard, and Double-Stuff lies in our bed.
