Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
Apart from the very different builds (which is really hard to see in pics), Shelly's front legs are all black with just white paws - and he's got those white "pantaloons" on his back legs. Tuxedo's right front leg is all white, and his front left leg is mostly white - but has a square patch of black that wraps around front. When they were baby kitties living outside, Tuxedo was "white legs" and Shelly was "black legs."

Finally got a good picture of Felixia that shows her gorgeous eyes
- they're a really pretty sea-green color, and they change a little from green to blue to yellow, depending on the light.

Thank you! She's my sweet petite girl...she's only about half the size of my other cats, but she's full of personality.


Here's Sylvestra - she's out of focus, but I thought the pic was too funny not to share - kind of like "here's what I think of those big dogs...yawn!".

I love all these cats,(especially OREO), it brought back such fond memories of a cat I had growing up named Sylvester. He was the first cat that was truly mine, rather than a family cat. He would follow me everywhere I went. Unfortunatly he disapeared one day and I suspect coyotes.

Needless to say, my cats are all indoor-only now.

Here's the only picture I have of him (he was still quite young then!) He's pictured with my very first family pet Smokey. Not the greatest picture, but it's all I have so I treasure it.



Also, as far as tuxedo patterning goes, I had always believed that it is a black cat with white paws (cuffs), chest (shirt) and maybe a white blaze. Like Sasha, my sisters cat
Check her out with all the presents on Christmas Eve!


This isn't my cat, but an image I found through google. This is what I think of when I think tuxedo cat:
