Or is it just a common color pattern? (Black, with a white stripe down his nose that continues under his chin, and to his belly, white tips on all the paws, too.) He's adopted from the shelter, and a real sweetheart, but now, I seem to notice lots of others with similar coloration, and was just curious... Thanks!

Tuxedo cat is such a cute cat! The colorings is what gives the kitty the "tuxedo" look....like Sylvester on Looney Tunes.
Here are some pics I found on Yahoo image search for "tuxedo cat"

It's not a breed, it's a color pattern. The cats look like they're wearing a tuxedo. You described the pattern perfectly. The cartoon cat Felix is a tuxedo cat.

It is a color pattern, not a breed. Tuxedo coloring can be seen in any domestic short hair, medium hair, or long haired cats. My sister has one that we adopted from the streets in Central America, so they must be pretty widespread, too.

No, it's not a actual breed.
The term "Tuxedo" or "Tuxie" refers to the color pattern of the cat.

Just a coloring, like calico- which can be a Maine ****, or mixed breed cat, or other breed. He sounds very distinguished!

No, it's a coloring. It's caused by the white spotting or piebald spotting gene.
