Photograph of Minty, one of four by-products of rescuing a pregnant cat. This photograph captures his bid to freedom and his discovery of the world outside.
A tuxedo cat is a bicolor cat with a white and black coat. The derivation of the term tuxedo cat is self-explanatory, as 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.
In the United Kingdom, the tuxedo cat is sometimes known as the “Jellicle cat”, after the fictional tribe of black and white cats described by T. S. Eliot in Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, which was first published in 1939. In its derivative musical, Cats, the tuxedo cat is exemplified by the character of Mr. Mistoffelees, who is portrayed as a stage magician wearing a lacy ruff and bow tie. The musical differed from the book in that the characters included cats with many different coat colors, rather than just bicolor cats, but it retains the repeated assertion that “Jellicle cats are black and white.”
In Britain cats with this pattern are also known as “Post Office” cats from Postman Pat’s “black and white cat” called Jess from the Postman Pat TV series. Cats with these markings also played a starring role in the drawings illustrating The Unadulterated Cat, a book written by Terry Pratchett, with cartoons by Joliffe Gray.

Minty is an ocassional visitor to us now – his feral ancestry caught up with him and he did a runner a week before the Vet’s visit was due. He comes back for food but rejects all efforts of affection; he eats and returns to his fans ..there must be many by the number of tuxedo cats in the village.
