Does anyone have polydactyl cats? They are ones with extra toes. Just seeing how common they are. My family has several.

We had one once, had an extra toe on every foot. We found it in our pasture a few falls ago when we were working cattle. It was a black and white kitten, and when we first seen it, we thought it was a skunk because it was all hair. Little bugger was getting chased by the cows and it was running directly towards us looking to be rescued. How a kitten could end up in the middle of a 5 quarter pasture is still a mystery! Cutest cat ever, especially with those big feet! That cat went everywhere with my husband, didn't matter what he was driving.
One of our grand-dgts is polydactyl- on one foot only.
Makes shoe-fitting difficult. She isn't sensitive about it
which is amazing considering how kids usually are when
they feel different. She even painted its toenail a different
shade once to make it more noticeable. :roll: :roll:
