They're growing human feet now. Opposable thumbs are next.

Our polydactyl is Captain Toebeans (T. McGillicuddy Wildboi I), "Cap" for short.

I would immortalize those in some soft clay.

I have one with 6, and one with 6 and 7. Had one with 6 but almost an opposable thumb, he would actually pick up his treats with his paw! That was startling when he first did it. Haven't seen a kitty like this one though.

Key West kitties have an extra toe.

It's the entire eastern seaboard, as well as Great Lakes states. Along shipping routes.

Hemingway cats. Ernest Hemingway had MC cats, true, but none of our Key West cats had extra toesies. Good kitties, all of them.

Thats really cute but i need to know if that cat is ok, i hope whatever happened to their feet doesnt give them trouble
Catsandcamping t1_j4jsgtt wrote
It's a rather common genetic mutation called polydactyly. The only marked difference between them and other cats is the presence of extra toe beans and sometimes extra claws. Ernest Hemingway had a bunch of them when he was still living and there is still a colony of them at his house/museum in Key West. You commonly hear them referred to as "Hemingway cats" because of this.

It doesn't, you just need to trim the extra claws.
