Genetics	Caused by the piebald gene (white spotting gene) that prevents melanin production in certain areas which results in unpigmented (white) fur. The extent of white varies.

The Genetics behind the Tuxedo Coat

 Understanding Piebaldism:

Tuxedo cats have unique black and white coat pattern and you may wonder how they get it, tuxedo cats get their fancy look by a gene called white spotting gene or piebald gene and the effect of this gene is known as Piebaldism. This specific gene (white spotting gene) is responsible for white spots in tuxedo cats.

How it Manifests:

Tiny cells called melanocytes makes a pigment called melanin. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to cat’s body, it can give different colors such as grey, orange but mostly black. The piebald gene stops the melanocytes before they color the whole body of cat, and thus the production of melanin is also stopped, so as a result the area of cat’s body that didn’t gets melanin, becomes white. This is why some of the fur of tuxedo cats gets white specially in chest, belly and paws, while the other areas remains black.

Variety in Patterns:

Piebald gene doesn’t make the same black and white color pattern in every cats, however many tuxedo cats can look different from each other due to their difference in color patterns. Sometimes the white spotting gene or piebald gene can only make white spots on the cat’s chest resembling a tiny locket and sometimes even when white spotting gene is majorly active, it causes van pattern in tuxedo cats where the whole body of tuxedo cat gets white, except for some areas on the tail and head that remains colored.

Back up claims about genetics with citations from academic research on feline biology:

Piebaldism is caused by white spotting gene that prevents the pigment producing cells called melanocytes from producing pigment called melanin. KIT is a gene that is responsible for disrupting the melanocytes, during embryonic development, when melanocytes aren’t able to reach every area of the cat’s skin due to disruption in KIT gene, then those parts of the cats fur becomes white.

Academic research on feline biology has shown:

Research has founded that KIT gene is responsible for white spots in tuxedo cats.

• A study in 2021 in nature communications shows that KIT gene is responsible for different color patterns in tuxedo cats.

Kaelin et al., 2021 – https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-021-25348-2

• A study in 2016 in PLoS Genetics shows that KIT gene controls the pigment producing cells called melanocytes. If these cells don’t migrate or properly grow, then some parts of the cat fur may remain white.
• Other study in 1993 on human shows that mutations in KIT gene can cause white spots in humans, which shows that KIT gene works same in all animals including mice, animals and human as well.

Fleischman, 1993 –https://doi.org/10.1016/0092-8674(93)90138-5

Direct quotes from a feline geneticist on the mechanics of piebaldism:

• By Leslie Lyons, feline geneticist

 “They don’t have the cells that produce pigment… those cells are also important for the inner ear. So… when they’re absent… you have deprivation in your hearing.”

• By Chris Kaelin, pigmentation researcher

“Piebaldism develops when pigment-producing cells fail to migrate fully during early development, leaving areas without pigmentation.”

 

Are Tuxedo Cats a Breed? (Debunking the Myth):

Common Misconception:

It’s a common misconception, as many people believe that tuxedo cats are a specific breed, but it’s not true at all, tuxedo cats are just cats having black and white or other color coat patterns.

Coat Pattern vs. Breed:

• Coat pattern: Coat pattern is just how a cat’s fur and how the cat overall looks, you can consider it as, what the cat is wearing!. Tuxedo cat pattern can appear in any of the breed.
• Breed: Breed is actually the type or kind of cat such as Maine Coon and Persian cats etc.

 Breeds That Can Be Tuxedos:

Tuxedo coat pattern is mostly common and occur in mix breeds such as Domestic Shorthair and Longhair, but it can also occur in:

• Maine Coon
• British Shorthair
• Persian
• American Shorthair
• Turkish Angora
• Exotic Shorthair

The gene that is responsible for tuxedo pattern and color called piebald gene, can appear in almost any breed, so that is why tuxedo cats can appear in different sizes and shapes.

Debunking the ‘all tuxedos are male’ myth:

Many people think that tuxedo pattern (black and white fur color) can only happen in male cats but it’s a complete myth.

Tuxedo pattern is not linked to gender of cats and can occur in any male or female, as the KIT gene (the gene that is responsible for piebaldism isn’t present on sex chromosome, so it doesn’t make any sense that only a specific gender will have tuxedo pattern.

Clarifying breed vs. pattern:

Breed and pattern are completely different from each other,

• Breed: Breed is the type or kind of cat.
• Pattern: Pattern is the look of your cats fur.

So it means that, tuxedo color pattern is just the look of your cat which can happen in any of the cat’s breed.

Physical Characteristics & Appearance:

Every tuxedo cat just doesn’t looks the same, every tuxedo cat can have different appearance.

Distinctive Markings:

1. The tuxedo: Classic black body with white chest, belly and paws.
2. Mask and mantle: Black color on the head and also on the back, other than this the fur is white elsewhere.
3. Cap and saddle: Black cap on head, black saddle on back, white elsewhere.
4. Locket: Small white spot on chest just like a locket, and remaining fur remains black.
5. Mittens: White paws on the paws just looking like mittens or socks.

Coat Lengths:

Tuxedo cats can be of any coat length,

• Short-haired tuxedo cats are most common.
• Medium-haired tuxedo cats are more fluffier and found in cats such as American Shorthair.
• Long-haired tuxedo cats are elegant and fluffy and they are found in different breeds of cats such as Persian or Maine Coon.

It means that tuxedo cats can appear in all coat lengths.

• Eye Colors:

Tuxedo cats can have different eye colors, some of the colors are more common such as:

• Green
• Gold
• Copper

Heterochromia (odd eyes):

Tuxedo cats can also have heterochromia, the condition in which cat may have different eye colors, means one eye color is blue and other is green, but this condition is rare and happens in some bicolored cats, though not specific to tuxedo.

Tuxedo Cat Personality & Temperament

Commonly Attributed Traits (Anecdotal):

The owners of tuxedo cats describe their cats as:

• Playful and energetic.
• Intelligent and curious.
• Vocal and communicative.
• Affectionate and loyal (often described as “dog-like”).
• Bold and confident (“tuxie-tude”).
• Mischievous and adventurous.

Emphasis on Individuality:

Just like humans, there are individual differences in cats also, which means that every cat is different from one other in terms of personality, nature and manners. There are some of the factors that greatly shape the personality of tuxedo cats such as:

• Genetics
• Early socialization.
• Environment

This just clearly means that you can’t judge a cat by its color.

Direct quotes from certified feline behaviorists on the influence of environment vs. perceived breed/pattern traits:

1. “There is little scientific evidence demonstrating this to be the case in domestic cats.”
   — Dr. Zarah Hedge, San Diego Humane Society.
2. “You can’t judge a cat by its color.”
   — Cathy Marden, Cat Coordinator, Berkeley East Bay Humane Society.
3. “Having lived with many different cats over the years, and working with many more in the shelter, I can say these stereotypes are not true. Each cat has their own unique personality.”
   — Dr. Zarah Hedge, Chief Medical Officer, San Diego Humane Society.

• Expert Tip: Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover: Remember that ‘tuxedo’ is a coat pattern, not a breed. Their personality is influenced by genetics, environment, and individual experience, not just their markings.
