Here is a picture of Mr Poe, showing black nose leather and black pads. So he's black, correct?

and here (below) is Domino, pink nose leather and pink pads. But do I recall something that tuxedo and cow cat patterned cats are black cats with a white spotting gene that varies from mostly black to mostly white?

As an off-topic aside - I remember that with chickens there are two different mechanisms for white, a dominant and a recessive. So it is possible to breed two white chickens and have colored chickens as a result. (Colored gene recessive to dominant white but expresses itself when paired to a recessive white.) Fascinating.
