Well, there really isn't any such thing as a "true tuxedo" :tongue2:. It's just kind of a cute term people have made up for cats who look like they're wearing tuxes. For me, I would say they look most like they're wearing tuxedos if they have black all down the back and legs, with a white bib and stripe down the belly and white spats. The pics are a little dark so I can't really say much about her markings but she's sure cute!

She is a beautiful  cat -- Black & white cats are so striking!  -- and does look like what  I would think of as the classic definition of a "tuxedo cat" -- which as Willowy says, is just a nickname for a kind of cat pattern.  But the black and white placement is by chance.  so some look more like they are in a formal black dinner jacket than others.

  she looks like she even has the collar of the white "shirt" .  Cute!  

The official color/ pattern name would be Black and White Bicolor.
