I was visiting a friend and said her photo of a B&W cat looked just like my moggie Magpie. She said he was called Taxi because Wellington (where we’d both grown up) had the Black and White Taxi co.

So, Magpie and Taxi were also options, damn I’m late finding this thread.

I used to have a black and white tuxedo kitty named “8 Ball.”
