The coat pattern of Tuxedo cats is similar to this black suit for men, with the back, flanks, head, tail and legs being mostly black, often with small flecks of white. The distinctive impression of a white shirt is enhanced by the white bib and belly, while a “perfectly dressed” Tuxedo cat also has white paws.

Dishwasher and Tuxedo Cat Jeeve's video is quickly going viral, receiving over 1.9 million views, over 52,000 likes and over 500 comments so far. Some viewers found the scene humorous and commented, "Oh he's helping with the dishes!"
