About Smudge | |
|
|
Smudge and his sister Journey and Mom Mable were left in our lobby at PRBJ. Smudge is the kitten with the white and black face. Smudge and his sister are remarkable. They love to play be cuddled and they are litter boxed trained. If you look below on Smudge's web page you will see his photo's with him and mom and sister....
The Tuxedo Cat is not a reference to breed but to color. According to www.cat-lovers-only.com, a black-over-white (one-third white) bicolor coat is your "typical" tuxedo. The black fur covers most of the back and the tail. They often have a white face with a black "mask" effect. Some of them will have black spots on their faces, or a "goatee" effect of black on the chin. In addition, they have a white underbelly (chest and abdomen), and lower legs and paws. Breed identity is defined by each registry, but some of the breeds accepted in black and white are the Manx, the Persian, the Norwegian Forest Cat, and the Maine Coon. Oriental cat breeds do not show in this color combination. Perhaps the most well-known tuxedo cat ever is Sylvester, of Warner Brothers Looney Tunes fame. Sylvester has been chasing Tweety Bird since 1945. Of course, he is always unsuccessful. This either makes him the most persistent cat in the world, or the worst hunter of the feline species, or both.
