S. Eliot | publisher=Harcourt | year=1982 |isbn=978-0-15-168656-8}}</ref> In the musical ''[[Cats (musical)|Cats]]'', the character [[Mr. Mistoffelees]] is a tuxedo cat.

The musical differed from the book in that the characters included cats with many different coat colors, rather than just bicolor cats, but it retains the repeated assertion that "Jellicle cats are black and white." Cats with these markings also played a starring role in the drawings illustrating ''[[The Unadulterated Cat]]'', a book written by [[Terry Pratchett]], with cartoons by [[Gray Jolliffe]].<ref>{{cite book |first1=Terry |last1=Pratchett |author1-link=Terry Pratchett |first2=Gray |last2=Jolliffe |author2-link=Gray Jolliffe |title=The Unadulterated Cat |publisher=Orion |edition=New |date=26 September 2002 |isbn=978-0-7528-5369-7 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/unadulteratedcat00terr }}</ref>
