 The tuxedo pattern is not limited to the color black, but the name is typically reserved for black and white cats.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 sometimes the tail, although many tuxedo cats appear to sport goatees, due to the black coloration of their mandible—that is, the lower jaw and chin.
