Maine Coons are leading the game when we’re talking about pedigree fluffers. They are the most adorable, affectionate, and most likely to become famous on Instagram or TikTok. And, tuxedo Maine Coons are a story in itself.
Now, you probably haven’t thought of the pawsibility of treating yourself with the one and only Agent 007, the James Bond of the fluffy world, have you?
Maine Coons might be famous for a bunch of reasons (they’re pretty purrfect, to be honest). But, tuxedo Maine Coons catch everyone’s attention for being the most elegant, dapper-looking felines out there.
As for the pattern, you’re presented with a bi-color, solid, calico, tri-color, color point, or tabby feline. And, each of them comes with the biggest, softest fluff you’ve ever had the pleasure of petting.
But, when you’re looking for a tuxedo Maine Coon, you’re looking for a black and white fluffer with a pattern that resembles a penguin suit (or a monkey suit, whichever term works best for you).
A tuxedo’s fluff makes them appear bigger, better, and so-snuggly-you-could-die. And, the statement piece doesn’t seem to be reserved for black and white attire only!
1. Black Tuxedo
As you might have suspected, the black tuxedo’s the most popular color out of the bunch. And, black tuxedo kitties have predominantly black fluff with white patches on the face, chest, and paws.
As a matter of fact, we’re pretty sure we prefer the term “penguin suit” because the placement of the spotting makes them look like little penguins.
2. Blue Tuxedo
“Wait, what? Cats can be blue?!”. We’re not talking about the navy, royal, cobalt, or cerulean shades of blue you would use when describing the sky or the water. We’re talking about the blue-ish, washed-out, diluted color cats assume when they’re not a pure breed.
Depending on the parents, tuxedo Coons can assume the pale black or blue color which doesn’t change as they get older. But, blue tuxedo Coons are much more fun than the ones we discussed a couple of paragraphs ago.
3. Orange Tuxedo
Who wouldn’t want a Garfield-looking Coon? Orange tuxedo Coons have the same placement of the spotting as the rest of the shades we have mentioned. They just have predominantly orange fluff and white patches on the face, chest, and paws).
But, orange tuxedo Coons can have other color combinations such as orange and brown, orange and cream, and orange tabby with white patches.
4. Chocolate Tuxedo
Chocolate tuxedo Maine Coons are pretty rare, but we shouldn’t overlook the absolute pawesomeness they possess. As you might have guessed, they have a bunch of brown fluff with white spotting around the face, chest, and paws making for that signature look.
But, chocolate cats might possess other shades of brown such as cream, tan, or beige, too. Chocolate makes everything better, right?
5. Tortoiseshell Tuxedo
The tortoiseshell tuxedo sounds like something we should see at the upcoming New York Fashion Week! The fact that you can find the same pattern on a fluffy feline blows our minds. But, that doesn’t seem to stop the tortoiseshell tuxedo Coons from strutting their way. And, these frisky felines are the rarest out of the bunch.
What makes tortoiseshell different from other colors and patterns? Tuxedo Maine Coons typically possess two colors – one covering the body and one covering the face, chest, and paws. But, tortoiseshell has two (or even three) colors covering the body and one covering the face, chest, and paws.
6. Cream Tuxedo
A soft cream base with white markings on the chest, paws, and face, creating a delicate and elegant tuxedo look. This pattern is lighter and less dramatic but equally captivating.
7. Smoke Tuxedo
A black or gray coat that fades to lighter tones near the roots, paired with traditional white tuxedo markings.
The “smoky” effect gives these tuxedo cats a mystical, enchanting look.
8. Tabby Tuxedo
The interplay of patterns creates a dynamic and visually interesting coat. A tabby pattern (striped, spotted, or classic swirls) combined with white tuxedo markings.
