Wow!  That is a big boy.  I love tuxedo cats.  Only one of ours is a
tuxedo, and he's a tabby-tuxedo.  He's really fat, has tall white
boots on his back feet, and his bow tie (I make all of my cats wear a
bow tie) is red, with white polka-dots.  When he meow's, he goes
through all of the facial motions, but only a tiny tiny little squeak
comes out.

None of our cats actually ever jumped into my arms that I recall, but
the two gentlemen that used to live across the street from us had a
bob-cat named Nala that my daughter and I used to go play with that
would come running into the room to greet us, and one time she jumped
into my arms, nearly knocking me down.  She was beautiful - but a
little bit scary.  

Okay........a lot scary.

How cute! Taking them to the vet's can be a great bonder. ;)

He is a very big boy. Ours are 5 mos. old now and I thought our one guy
was big at 7 lbs. The other two are 4.5 and 5 lbs.

Glad your guys are doing well after surgery.
