Me-usings and Me-emories

31 October 2020 - Tuxedos should not be lumped in the category of black cats, especially today.  We are not a breed, but are grouped by our bi-color coat pattern.  Although my white fur is outnumbered, perhaps two to one, the proportion of black to white varies among us... and adjectives are actually assigned to describe those differences.  For example, tuxies with the Van pattern are white except for the tail and crown of the head; those with random patches are called harlequins.  With my white face, chest, belly, and paws, I fit into the more standard tuxedo definition.  However as past photographs have documented, even within the common norm, I have, and proudly wear, my unique features.

Underneath it all,

we are more alike than not.
