My sister says that in the /Black And White cats only the males are called Tuxedos and the females are just called Black And White. Is this really true?

I don't know, but I have a female "tuxedo".
Hmm, does your sis have a source for that info?
Wikipedia says nothing of the sort, and a quick search on Google turns up nothing. I'm no expert on coat pattern names butI can't imagine it's true... I mean it's the same coat pattern, not like calico where the exact coat type only appears in one gender. We always called Tohey a tuxedo and she's female.

Well, since it's kind of a made-up term, I guess we can make it mean anything we want :tongue2:.
:lol3: I think males and females are tuxedos because it is just a made up description to describe their color and markings. Even though girls don't wear tuxedos!!! :lol3:

They're all black & white bi-colours, people just nickname them Tuxedo since it often appears they are wearing one - in both sexes.

Most tortie and whites (or Calico's in the US) are female, but there are lots of males around too, and not all sterile as some literature suggests, I know several working tortie stud boys.
