Tuxedo Cat portraits

Black-and-white tuxedos are defined by their white: the bib, socks and the 'mustache' on the muzzle.

What we keep

White-marking shapes are checked at proof, including asymmetric masks.

Commission a portrait

Example custom cat portrait
I

Approved by you

You approve every portrait before it's made. Two revisions, should they be needed.

II

Every marking

Spots, stripes, masks, odd eyes, extra toes. Their face, not a face.

III

Framed to give

Archival prints, real frames and a linen box. Ready to hang, or to hand over.

IV

It moves

A code on the frame back opens a moving portrait and a private page.

Photo tips

Avoid flash; it flattens black fur.

Natural daylight, eye-level, and the whole head in frame. Avoid heavy filters; they change coat colour.

Special features we'll keep

Add any of these in the Special Features box and we'll keep them, and you'll confirm each one on your proof:

  • extra toes (polydactyl), with a count per paw
  • odd-coloured eyes, and which is which
  • a tipped or folded ear
  • a missing leg or eye
  • a crooked tail or kinked tip

Questions

Will my tuxedo cat look like my pet, not a generic one?

White-marking shapes are checked at proof, including asymmetric masks. And you approve every portrait before it's made.

What photos work best?

Avoid flash; it flattens black fur. 1 to 3 photos is plenty.

Can I include two pets or myself?

Yes. See our family and owner portraits; just upload a photo of each.

What if something is off?

Ask for a revision; two are included. Nothing is made until you approve.
