Photographing Black Cats
  • Don't use a black background - you'll hardly be able to see the cat!
  • Avoid shooting the cat against a wall as the black shadow behind her may merge with her body.
  • Look out for dark shadows generally, especially around the head.
  • Have lots of light on her face.

samSome black and white cats have been dubbed "tuxedo" cats. This is due to the particular patterning of black and white fur, resembling a tuxedo and white shirt. This page displays a number of classic tuxedo patterns as well as wider variations. Of course, every cat's coat pattern is unique and they are all beautiful.

These cats are examples of bicolored cats - white cats with patches of color. Their coloring is due to the presence of a "spotting" gene that causes white blotches.

If you like these photos of mature cats, you'll surely enjoy seeing our very cute tuxedo kittens.
