what would you class Glamorous's "fur color" as? she's a Domestic Shorthair, but in the "cat page's, am unsure what to put as "fur color".
thank's for that!Originally Posted by Worriedmommy
Probably Bicolored(Mask-and-Mantle). Tuxedo is when the cat is black all over except for white under neck and on paws and some times nose area.
I learn something new every day. Thanks for explaining that.Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
Black/White Bicolor. Tuxedo is not the proper label. Any cat that is 2 solid colors is a bicolor - one color has to be white (in any amount); the other is either black, blue, red, cream, chocolate, lilac (in any amount).
The only exception would be the "Van" cats - color is restricted to top of head, tail and one or two body spots. If its more color then that, its a bicolor.
Also the other extreme of almost all color and a very small amount of white would not be considered a bicolor but a solid color (say black) with a locket of white on the chest or some white toes.
Even a "Van" would still be a bicolor, you'd just use the term Van or Van Bicolor.

i've got a kitty like that called Sabrina, she live's at my mum's place thoughOriginally Posted by Rang_27
OK, so this may sound stupid, but what about cats (like my Jordan & maggie) who are white with tabby markings?
Thank you. That was kind of what I thought. I don't really care, I just call them cute!Originally Posted by GoldenKitty45
If they are white with tabby markings then they would be classifed as a Tabby with White.
For example (Maine coon classes):
Solid - black, blue, white, etc.
Bicolor - black/white, blue/white, etc.
Tabby - brown, blue, red, silver
Tabby/White - brown, blue, red, silver
Does that help?
