As title says, I need practical information on how to press a tuxedo without destroying its' natural fibers and wrecking its' character. Can I do it before Friday night? It's very wrinkled in some places...

I would seriously consider calling around to a few dry cleaning shops and see if they can squeeze you in (there's a joke in there somewhere about seldom worn suits). Mamma taught me for wool to set the iron on medium or lower. If the wrinkles are not to bad, you might be able to just hang it and steam it - fill your iron with water, crank it to high and use the steam button without touching the hot iron to the fabric. If your tux is silk, you're on your own cause I don't know.
As for your cat, she would prefer a can of tuna and a hot night out on her own.
It was an attempt at a joke. He's a tuxedo moggie cat. ^.^
But the info you did provide is actually spot on. I only own a few suits for as needed. All wool, and yup... middle to low iron is the trick. Silk will scorch or glaze with just about any heat.
My little mog? No. Won't take an iron for a moment.
(I'd never harm him he's precious)
