Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / August 2004Cat thumbs and intro
Hi, I post/read on rpch+b mostly and just found out that this ng exists! I have been lurking for a while and enjoy the more pleasant exchange of cat stories and cute things. I have 6 cats myself and also volunteer and foster for a local shelter. I wanted to share with you pictures of a kitty that came in recently at the shelter. He has the most unusual front paws I've ever seen. Take a look: www.snittens.com/pictures/lucky1.jpg www.snittens.com/pictures/lucky2.jpg It almost looks like he is evolving and is on his way to cats developing opposable thumbs! Anyone ever seen paws like that?  Signature-Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net www.kelltek.com Check out www.snittens.com > I post/read on rpch+b mostly and just found out that this ng exists!

SignatureThe One-and-only Holy MosesT >It almost looks like he is evolving and is on his way to cats developing >opposable thumbs! Anyone ever seen paws like that? OMG! He does look like he's got thumbs. I've seen lots of polys, but I've never seen one like Lucky. Sherry "KellyH" <Kelly@whatever.com> had some very interesting things to say about Cat thumbs and intro: >I post/read on rpch+b mostly and just found out that this ng exists! I have >been lurking for a while and enjoy the more pleasant exchange of cat stories [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >It almost looks like he is evolving and is on his way to cats developing >opposable thumbs! Anyone ever seen paws like that? Those look like *hands*. Does he use the "thumbs"? :-) Signature"The universe is quite robust in design and appears to be doing just fine on its own, incompetent support staff notwithstanding. :-)" - the Dennis formerly known as (evil), MCFL > Those look like *hands*. Does he use the "thumbs"? :-) Well, Lucky is in the office at the shelter, since he's too big for a cage. We keep the canned food on the shelves in there. So far, he hasn't figured out how to pop the tops. When he walks his thumbs kind of slide back, I don't know if they are opposable or not. I'll have to do some further examinations.

That *would* render us unnecessary.

Anyone ever seen paws like that? They look like chameleon feet! SignatureCheryl KellyH had something important to tell us on Sat, 14 Aug 2004 03:18:58 GMT: >www.snittens.com/pictures/lucky1.jpg >www.snittens.com/pictures/lucky2.jpg > >It almost looks like he is evolving and is on his way to cats developing >opposable thumbs! Anyone ever seen paws like that? Are any of those claws actually opposable? One of John's fosters was poly who actually had opposable claws on his front paws - the vet had never seen anything quite like it! The little begger could climb up the inside of his carry cage and hang from the top before he was ten weeks old! :P SignatureKaren AKA Kajikit Here kitty kitty kitty... visit http://www.catslaves.org!

It's nice to meet you. We look forward to sharing this newsgroup with you. Regards and Welcoming Purrs, O J Welcome to the group, Kelly! We're owned by 5 cats, Omar, Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker.
