Cat's Name & Age:

Don, 13 years old.

Best Characteristics of the Tuxedo

Funny, friendly, playful, loving, well groomed, and he helped me raise 5 orphaned kittens. Don is one heck of a Tuxedo cat.

Most Challenging Characteristics of the Tuxedo

Sometimes his silliness can get a little out of control. I don't really mind ; but he tends to get my orphaned cats, who are young , a little to riled up.

When, Where and How I Got My Tuxedo

Don was adopted by a local junkyard owner.

He was then adopted, by me, when he was about 6 weeks old.

I can assure you ; Don is no junkyard kitty.

He knows absolutley nothing about mechanics.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

Loving, playful, consistant, smart, gorgeous, shiny, sweet, affectionate, immature for his age, foolish, very healthy, and never has had a single behavior problem in 13 years!

Don has been a joy to me, and I Cannot imagine life without him.

he is also an excellent role model for other cats and kittens, and he makes a great sitter.

Advice

  • Get ready for fun.
  • In my experience, tuxedo's are very energetic, playful, friendly, and affectionate. mine is also very talkative and obedient.
  • My advice to anyone adopting a tuxedo , or any cat , is to keep them indoors, spay/neuter, vaccinate, feed a healthy diet and most of all ... love them .
