tuxedo cat

Black-and-white cat

A tuxedo cat is a cat with black and white markings that suggest formal evening wear—typically black on the back and sides with a white chest, belly, and paws.

The pattern occurs across many breeds and mixed cats: Our tuxedo cat looks like he's always dressed for a party.
