Cats Looking Very Dapper.....

Tuxedo cats, also known as Jellicle cats, are a bi-colored (black & white only) that have very unique personalities, and most of then look very "formal". While the term Tuxedo (which refers to the color of their coats), is of no special breed; they are usually domestic short hairs - and they essentially get their name because of their black and white pattern. Also, they typically have a white bib.

Not all Tuxedo's look alike and their patterns are seldom exactly the same. Probably the two most famous tuxedo cats are: "Sylvester" and "Felix the Cat".

One fun fact about Tuxedo kitties:  is that they're actually 200% more intelligent then any other domestic cat - FACT! 

I once knew a Tuxedo cat that would actually fetch a tiny rubber ball and bring it back to it's owner - something I thought a dog could only be trained to do.

 It's also known that Beethoven, William Shakespeare, and Sir Issac Newton were all once the owners of a Tuxedo cat.

The largest inheritance ever left to a feline is an astonishing 6.3 million dollars, which went to a Tuxedo cat named Sparky in 1998.
