Tuxedo Cats
Just how smart is a Tuxedo really?
Are Tuxedo Cats smarter than other cats?
Intelligence, of course, depends on the individual cat, not on the breed or colour, and a Tuxedo cat is not a breed of cat at all. Even so, many people claim that a Tux has more brains than other cats.
However, the woman who feeds me says that pure black cats are the smartest and I agree.

Tuxedo Cats are Bicoloured Cats
A bicolour cat is a cat with white fur combined with fur of some other colour, for example black or tabby.
There are various patterns of bicolour cat, but the distinctive low-to-medium grade white spotting limited to the face, paws, throat and chest of an otherwise black cat, they're known as Tuxedo Cats.
The black colouring should be solid throughout so that it looks as if the cat is wearing a tuxedo.

Trim the Mariner
Trim the Sailor Cat
Trim sailed around Australia in 1802 assisting his person, Captain Matthew Flinders, to map the coast How courageous!
Trim was a Tuxedo Cat
Trim, the Master Mariner and Great Explorer, was a Tuxedo Cat.
Possibly one of the bravest cats ever, I wish I'd met him to shake his paw.

Socks was a Tuxedo
The White House Cat
When Socks was in the White House, he handled the publicity like a true leader, never creating incidents or prompting diplomatic crises.
He brought national prominence to cats for a while, showing the world that a cat can be affectionate, friendly, yet highly dignified.
The Clintons used a harness and leash for many of his outdoor encounters, modeling the proper safety precautions for a cat in a new or potentially uncontained environment.

Socks, the Clintons' Cat, passed over the Rainbow Bridge in 2009, aged 20.

I don't want to upset you, but Life is not just a bowl of cherries. It's not even a bowl of kibble.
Life is also about sadness, about grief when we lose friends and dear companions

Jellicle Cats are Tuxedo Cats
Jellicle Cats are black and white,
Jellicle Cats are rather small;
Jellicle Cats are merry and bright,
And pleasant to hear when they caterwaul.
Jellicle Cats have cheerful faces,
Jellicle Cats have bright black eyes;
They like to practise their airs and graces
And wait for the Jellicle Moon to rise.
