Hey, can you guys explain for me what a tuxedo kitty is? Would that be the black and white kitties that have two white diamonds (one on their breast area and one on their tummy), and white paws?

Anyone have a pic?

Thanks!

This is what I've always taken to be a tuxedo kittie - like Alfie only black!

Thanks for all these great pictures. It brings back memories of my Max who I lost in July to kidney failure. He was black except for white under his neck, a little on his stomach and his feet. I never knew he was a tuxedo cat until after he died and I read about tuxedo cats on this forum.

My Oliver is a very well-marked tuxedo


Emma is also a tuxedo but her markings aren't quite as symmetrical as Oliver's, she has more black overall

Generally there is some white on the mask of the face as well. Olivers white is a continuation of the white on his neck, whereas Emma has a "blaze" of white on an all black face.
