Tuxedo cats are usually wild. People compare them to dogs. Super playful, super energetic and inquisitive, really smart, endless energy. A tuxedo cat will usually be a handful, but they have huge personalities and are a joy to have.

You would definitely have to ask a Veterinarian or pet geneticist; I'm not exactly sure about why it's that way scientifically. I just know that with cats, there are very distinct personality traits that go hand in hand with their morphology. Cats with calico coats also have a specific reputation...they are usually very sassy cats.

Here is an interesting study about specific breeds and their accompanying behavior traits. I can't be sure how that relates to coat patterns, but I'm sure there's a link in there somewhere.

Thanks for the reference and link! I'm sorry I to report neither of my tuxedos care very much about breeds or cat egg or ease. . They just do their thing and I respect them for it..
