Notes

The Black and White Shorthair is a fierce hunter with a strong working prey drive. They are intelligent, driven and reserved, with a strong independent streak. Originally known for their signature tuxedo pattern, two different ideas of what defined the Black and White emerged, with one side stressing the “black” while the other stressed the “white”. The two varieties of B&WS accepted today reflect this: black emphasizes that the cat’s primary coat colour is black, with white spotting; AOV is for catz with any allowed solid coat colour, with the traditional tuxedo pattern.

The Black and White Shorthair is a breed invented by PF Magic for the Petz games, likely inspired by American and British Shorthairs. The standard has been developed by PKC, and continued by UKC.

Type & Judging Remarks
Aggression in this breed is not penalized, and a fierce show pose is preferred. White tailtips are allowed without fault, and chest patches are optional.
