Breeds known for black and white:
* Tuxedo Cat: This isn't a breed, but a color pattern (black with white markings on chest, belly, paws, and sometimes face). Many breeds can be tuxedo cats, including:
* American Shorthair
* Domestic Shorthair
* Persian
* Siamese
* Japanese Bobtail: Known for their short, bobbed tails, they often have tuxedo markings.
* Maine Coon: While they come in many colors, they can be black and white, and the "head streak" you describe is a common marking in some Maine Coons.
Other possibilities:
* Domestic Shorthair: The most common cat breed, they can come in any color, including black and white with a head streak.
* Any mixed breed cat: Many cats are mixes of various breeds, making color and pattern possibilities endless.
Remember: A head streak is a common marking, not unique to any specific breed. To determine the exact breed of a black and white cat with a head streak, you'd need to consider other physical traits like body type, tail length, and ear shape.
