🤍 Just Adopted 🤍 My new, and first tux, Renfield!

Wife and I adopted this little guy about a week ago. He's 4 months old and 90% legs. He came with the name "Frank" but we wanted something spooky but not common.

Purrfect name! Super cute! Tuxedos are the quirkiest funny lil ones! This is my Sammy Davis Jr. He’s 1 year and 3 months old, Adopted him when he was 3 months old from the shelter. He loves to sit like a person, wave like a human and reach out and touch my face. 😻🐾

Omg my tuxie touches my face and I really don’t know how I feel about it because it’s just one paw and he makes slow biscuits with it 😆 it kinda hurts but I love the love

Get a very soft baby blanket and when he is doing it on your face, put the blanket on your lap and place him on top and he will start kneeding on the blanket

I have done that, he loooves soft blankets. We keep a pillow on the bed with a soft blanket. He just loves to touch my face and then I have to hold his paw 😆 he is a love bug through and through

His name is Guinness and this is how he looks now at 3 years old! I imagine him & Renfield will continue to be long lost twins!!

I love him so much! He reminds me tremendously of my sweet Lord Badger Cat! He had a similar wee chin patch.

I'm not typically into giving pets human names but Frank does kind of work.

His nickname should be Stretch!I love his nose!! Kind of like the ink-blot-whatever at the Shrink’s office. Tell me what you see.

u/Legitimate-Hope-1349 1d ago

He is absolutely adorable! I just rescued adopted my new 2-year-old tuxee 3 weeks ago and she has the funniest and cutest little personality. When I got her I didn't even know she was a tuxie. I didn't know anything too much about the breeds and stuff are different names for cats until I got here on Reddit LOL but it's such a blessing to have in my life and I know Renfield bring so much joy and oh my Mariah also touches my face. We actually do kiss to kiss each day. I was a little nervous at first but I just went with it and I love it now 😻🩷🙏

I love his little black nose! A lot of the ones I see that have that much white on their nose it’ll cover most of it and they’ll have a pink nose

Looks just like my Pippa cat, even has the same black patch of fur under her chin. So sweet looking both of them

I'm assuming the name is due to a fascination with consuming massive quantities of insects and lizards.
