What Are Tuxedo Cats?

Tuxedo cats are adorable! The definition of a tuxedo cat, though, depends on who you ask. Technically, a tuxedo cat isn’t a breed but a coloration. Some people define tuxedo cats as simply black and white cats whose coats look like they are wearing tuxedos. Generally, this means they are more black than white. Others define tuxedo cats as bi-colored cats, not just black and white. Regardless of how you define a tuxedo cat, they are cute!
