Looking Sophisticated Was Never Meant To Be This Hilarious And These 47 Tuxedo Cats Are Proof
Cats have a reputation for being graceful and elegant, but anyone who’s ever lived with them know they can also be the silliest little chaos machines. So when it comes to tuxedo cats who are fancy felines dressed in their permanent black-and-white suits, the difference between their elegance and goofiness is even more hilarious.
This is because despite their appearance, tuxedo cats are just as prone to dramatic poses, ridiculous sleeping positions, and moments of pure clumsiness as any other feline. Fun fact, there's an entire community on the internet dedicated to showing off their tuxedo cats. As usual, we’ve gathered some of the funniest, goofiest, and most endearing pictures of tuxedo cats caught in their most ridiculous moments.

The cat, "I feel like we've met before. This place seems so familiar".
According to The Spruce Pets, tuxedo cats aren’t a specific breed but are named for their distinctive bi-colored, or piebald, coat patterns that resemble formal wear. However, they add that while they’re often black and white, they can come in other color combinations, too.
They explain that, unlike calico or tortoiseshell cats, their spots are not due to genetics. Instead, their coat colors are thought to have been formed by slow-moving pigment cells that failed to distribute evenly during development, leaving behind their distinctive white patches.

Little Man Sleeping Like He Pays The Bills

Robyn Picknell 10 months ago
That is a very relaxed and happy cat! You have clearly done an excellent job of making him feel safe, secure and loved, so much so that he has chosen to sleep in the single most vulnerable position for a cat to sleep in, ie: on his back with his stomach openly on show and sleeping very deeply. Well done to you, you have a beautiful, happy, healthy and trusting little chaos machine!

My Beautiful Daughter Has Survived Fip As Of Today 😊
LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
Congrats! My older tux boy Preacher was diagnosed with wet FIP when he was 7 months old. The medication to treat it was still illegal at that point (eff you for eternity, Gilead Sciences) so we had to buy Chinese-manufactured "black market" GS-441524. FIP is fatal almost 100% of the time if left untreated. Thankfully, there are amazing groups like FIP Warriors 5.0 that helped us source it. Peps had to undergo 84 painful days of treatment - injections twice a day that made him scream in pain every time - and 84 days of observation afterwards until he was declared cured. He is now 3 years old! Here's a pic of him in a little crown I made for him to celebrate him getting through his first week of treatment XD crowned_pr...9d186b.jpg

Feline Infectious Peritonitis. A very serious viral disease in the coronavirus family - it is a mutated form of the common feline coronavirus. It usually affects kittens and young adults (but older cats can develop it too.) It is almost 100% fatal if left untreated. It can kill very fast (days/weeks.) There is a "wet" form where fluid builds up either around the lungs or in the abdomen, and a "dry" form (no fluid, can have ocular or neurological symptoms.) There is a drüg called GS-441524 that has a 80%+ cure rate for FIP, but the company that held its patent refused to release the drüg for veterinary use. A team of vets at UC Davis (all hail Dr. Pedersen!) has been researching FIP for years and found the cure (GS-44) in 2019. There is now a generic form of GS-44 on the market, so now cats can be cured of FIP! My cat Preacher had FIP as a kitten (2022) and he nearly died. He endured 84 days of painful twice-daily injections of GS-44. He would be dead without Dr. Pedersen's research and the FIP Warriors 5.0 online group, who helped me get ahold of black-market GS-44 (there was no generic available in 2022.)

We had a cat die from FIP about a year ago. No available medications here and they would have cost $4,000-$5,000 to get from Europe. We just did not have the money. Miss you Little Pink

I Can’t Stop Laughing
Catster highlights that tuxedo cats have been admired for centuries, with depictions dating back to Ancient Egypt, where cats were highly revered. But the fascination with these dapper felines didn’t stop there because historical figures like Beethoven, Shakespeare, and Sir Isaac Newton also had tuxedo cats as companions.
While these cats may not have achieved fame themselves, their presence in the lives of such well-known figures highlights just how beloved tuxedo cats have been throughout history.

Tuxedo cats are adored not just for their striking black-and-white coats but also for their standout personalities. Relax My Cat explains that these felines are often intelligent, curious, and highly sociable, earning them the nickname "people cats".
They thrive on interactive play, are very agile, and show a lot of acrobatic skills. Confident and bold, tuxedo cats are rarely intimidated and aren’t known for being quiet, but they love to communicate with their humans through a variety of vocalizations.

Neighbors Abandoned This Sweet Boy But He Showed Up At The Right House
Bill Swallow 10 months ago (edited)
Sometimes, people 'abandon' their cats not by choice. More than once, I've seen people in the process of moving house have their cats go missing right before the people leave. That happened to a friend of mine, and once happened to me. Yeah, sometimes people are jerks, and you can think of me as a bad cat owner if you want, but when my Eben disappeared and I never saw him again, it broke my heart.

Tuxedo cats may look like they’re ready for a black-tie event, but as we've seen, they're just as likely to be caught in the most ridiculous situations. Whether they’re striking dramatic poses, causing chaos, or simply being their charming, mischievous selves, these fancy felines never fail to entertain.
If you’ve got a dapper little troublemaker at home, we're sure you just might be able to relate! And don’t fur-get to scroll through the rest of this list because every tuxedo kitty here deserves every bit of admiration!

I've Been Worried Sick For Him And He Comes Back Like Nothing Happened
Bonesko 10 months ago
Last month one of my cats got out. I spent 3 days searching for her in the freezing cold. Crawling under my house, searching the woods near by, asking my neighbors, following tracks in the snow. Then she finally just strolls on up the back porch all chill like 'what's up' after having a merry ol' time while I hardly slept in days and crying at night. Cats gonna cat though. That's why I love them.

We had a tuxedo cat, years ago, named Lucy, and her beans and nose were the most delicate pink, though her nose was a “mood nose”. When she got angry or upset, or someone just got on her last nerve, it would turn a darker and brighter pink. RIP Lucy. We miss you every day.

What Is Your Cat’s Actual Name vs. What You Call Them?
LakotaWolf (she/her) 10 months ago
My older tuxedo is named Preacher (after a comic book series) but I call him by his full name maybe 1% of the time XD He's also known as Peepee, Peps, Lenny the Pep, Peepacher, Peeparino, Preachy-reachy, Peachy, Petrie. Peeparoni, Fat Boy, etc. My 4-month-old tux kitten, Riker (named after Commander Riker from Star Trek: TNG), hasn't garnered AS many nicknames yet, as I've only had him for a month, but he is also known as Rikey, Screamy Boi, Rikles, Rike, Number One, and Burlap Sack (he is the least soft of all my cats, lol.)

His brother Fubar Jones answers to none of the following: Fu, Fuey, Fu-Fu Face, Fubalopolous, Fatty Fatty Boombalatty, Such-A-Cat!, and Dumbass.

He's a FIP survivor, an obsessive foodmongler (he will steal the food off your fork if you aren't quick), and his meow is so high-pitched that he sounds like a 4-year-old fairy unicorn princess when he meows XD preachyrea...582944.jpg

He was originally going to be named Magneto, but when I got him home, he just looked like a Riker. He enjoys screaming really loudly, fetching his puffball toy, watching bodycam YT videos with me, and playing with my Belgian Malinois, Fenring (they are besties.)

If you are having trouble training him not to bite, there is a technique that I have used on my many cats, and on friends cats to stop biting. When mommy cat disciplines kittens there are 4 things they do. 1) mom will get up and walk away from kitten. 2) picking the kitten up by the neck scruff to relocate away from herself or other kittens. 3) a paw to the top of the head, applying gentle pressure until the kitten stlls. 4) a bop to the nose. We are doing in #4, it's a quick, gentle attention getter that immediately says NO! When he bites you tap the face of his nose immediately. This isn't a gentle boop, but you're not smacking him in the face either. It should be from about 1- 2 inches from face, tap nose. Cat reaction is usually pulling face back, might give a slight shake, and the look is usually a what the hell was that look. ONLY do the tap if you can do it within the first 30-45 seconds. Don't chase him down to tap his nose.
