Tuxedo cats – black cats with white markings (or vice versa) – are great cats. I’m the proud owner of one, and she came into my life in very odd circumstances.
It’s believed that tuxedo cats are great protectors of their owners, and I definitely believe that mine has been a great protector of me.
But that’s not all they’re spiritually linked to.
What Does a Tuxedo Cat Mean Spiritually?
Alongside protection, tuxedo cats are seen as an even balance between black and white – dark/evil and light/good.
Black cats have long since been associated with witches, magic, and spirituality. The white addition adds a little light to the dark, so to speak.
Overall, cats have spiritual associations with the following:
- Intuition;
- Femininity;
- Emotional upset;
- Creativity;
- Energy balance;
- Spiritual gifts, especially clairvoyance;
- Good fortune and luck.

7 Tuxedo Cat Spiritual Meanings and Messages
How do you feel about cats? Do you like them? Hate them? Collect them like Pokémon cards?
That will play a huge part in the overall message the feline is sending you.
Ailurophobia is the term for a fear of cats, and if you have it, you’re not going to see the omen as a positive one.
Seeing a tuxedo cat in your house will likely have a slightly different meaning to having one cross your path, or dreaming of one when you sleep at night.
1) A Display of Support
How’s life going for you right now? Good? Bad? Ugly?
Tuxedo cats are a sign of support, coming to you when you most need them, even when you don’t realize you need them.
Not just for protection, these black and white felines are there to give you a boost of love when you’re feeling unloved… or give you a little slap to bring you back to reality.
They’re unpredictable creatures, after all.
When you see one, don’t just walk by. Pat that black and white kitty and give it a few strokes.
It’ll likely rub around your legs and purr a bit, and it might even follow you for a spell. Take as much love as you need, for as long as the cat will allow.

2) You Have a Guardian Angel
If you see a black and white cat on the street, encounter one at a friend’s house, dream of one, or feel drawn to adopt one, you might just have yourself a fine guardian angel!
Familiars, also known as sidekicks or companions to witches or magical beings, are often cats.
That’s why black cats were, are, and probably always will be associated with evil, witches and witchcraft, and curses.
Despite them being perfectly adorable creatures with many positive spiritual associations.
Your cat-slash-guardian angel will ensure you don’t come to harm and will rush to help if you need them.
You might not understand the language they speak but they can understand you and your needs. That’s why your cat always comes to comfort you when you cry!
3) It’s Time to Heal
After trauma, you must heal. That applies to a broken leg, a broken mind, and a broken heart.
Seeing a black and white cat might be a sign you need to take some time to heal, rest, and recuperate.
If you don’t allow yourself to heal after something causes trauma to you, you won’t properly recover.
This means that you’ll be less capable of coping with every traumatic or upsetting event that happens.
Giving yourself time to heal will allow you to bounce back stronger, sharper, and more positive.
4) Do You Need to Make a Difficult Decision?
I’d like to imagine a scenario for a moment, please. Imagine that you have just caught your sister’s husband committing adultery.
You’re furious and want to tell your sister, but it’ll break her heart when you do.
You’re bound by family loyalty, but at the same time, you don’t want to break up a whole marriage and a happy family for a one-time mistake. So, what do you do?
That’s the kind of difficult decision you might need to make if a black and white cat crosses your path.
It goes back to the meaning of good versus evil.
Sometimes, you need to make seemingly evil decisions for the greater good… and it’s never a very pleasant place to find yourself in.

5) Good Fortune and Blessings
Black cats in Japanese and Italian cultures are said to be a sign of good luck, wealth, happy marriages, and happiness.
Add white into the mixture and you have balance and tranquility, too.
Some say, these components are an essential part of a happy marriage or partnership and could even extend to harmonious friendships, work relationships, family relationships, and more.
6) Seeing Both Sides
Black and white cats are a sign of both sides – Ying and Yang, dark and light, evil and good, etc.
This could be a sign that you need to see both sides, or you already do see both sides of an argument or certain situation.
Being close-minded is to have one view and then stick with it.
To be open-minded means that you are open to evidence that could potentially prove you wrong, and then change your views or opinions accordingly.
Life is rarely black and white these days, and the black and white cat is a perfect reminder of that. There are ALWAYS two (or more) sides to EVERY story.
7) A Sign of Love and Adoration
According to hieroglyphics and other artworks from Ancient Egyptian times, men would give their lovers tuxedos, all-white, or all-black cats.
The gifts were typically used as a sign of commitment, given after marriage, and of love.
Seeing a tuxedo cat on the street (or having a dream of one) could be a sign that love and romance are in your future.
And you know what they say: It’ll happen when you least expect it.
