Tuxedo Cat Names

Tuxedo cat names often are chosen based on the look of the cat, and the resemblance of the black and white pattern to other animals or things.

Some appear to have a mask or eye patches, and resemble a raccoon or panda bear.

Others have mustaches or blotches on their faces.

Some of these kitties have blotches of black over white on their bodies that make them look like Holstein cows.

Some people will refer to any black and white cat as a tuxedo. Others reserve the term tuxedo for just those cats with specific coat patterns, especially those with white chest areas.

If you have a new tuxie at home and you're questioning what to name him or her, we have suggestions.

Below is a list of black and white cat names:

  • Angus (the cow)
  • Bandit
  • Bow Tie
  • BW (Black and White)
  • Cuff Link
  • Cumber Bun (Bunny)
  • Figaro (The name Figaro was submitted by Shelly)
  • Holstein (the cow)
  • Lovely (The name Lovely was submitted by Emma)
  • Mask
  • Mustache (Stache)
  • Opera
  • Oreo (Oreo was added to our list when this cat memorial to Oreo was submitted by a reader)
  • Raccoon
  • Smudge
  • Snowcap
  • Wing Tip

For black and white cats specifically with white paws/legs:

Tuxedo kitten Chloe

And then, of course, there's Chloe, our site mascot here at Cat Lovers Only. Attractive as she is, though, Chloe wasn't named for her good looks.

If you have a suggestion for a name, for any color, coat pattern, breed, or kind of cat, please add to our list. With your help, we're building the largest online list of cat and kitten names.
