Tuxedo cats? Is that what they call that kid of black & white cat, Meri? I never knew that but it's very apt - my mum's Felix looked just like that :)

Very pretty cats Kathy :)

Admittedly it's more of a US term but being used more and more here as well but yes; it's generally a name given to cats that have the white chest bit which makes them look like they wearing a tuxedo :)

Thanks :) I think that's a great way to describe them - my mum would have liked that! :)

Well the B/W is called Molly and Tabby is Tabatha
Both are very timid and go into hiding if anyone calls. Both are rescue cats and I think they have probably been tormented as kittens. The owners moved out and left the cats behind and it's only the neighbours who heard them crying that they contacted the local rescue centre. It has taken a good year to 18 months for them to really trust us. They are about 4 years old now.
