Tuxedo kittens or 'tuxies' are a very friendly, easy-going, and relaxed breed of cat that are quite common. Tuxies have been a part of our culture since ancient times. Indeed, tuxies were worshipped as Egyptian goddesses in ancient Egypt.  Today they still feature in popular culture, for example, the song 'Betty Boop' by Charlie Puth is dedicated to a black and white cat, 'Felix the Cat". The popularity of tuxies is partly derived from their mythical quality - it is believed that tuxies become invisible during the vernal equinox because of their black and white color.  To celebrate tuxies, see our list of fantastic names below.
