Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2005Just look at all those toesies!

As they grow up, they show a remarkable ability to use those extra toes like thumbs--they are masters at opening cabinets. Here's a pic of one we got out of muncipal animal control not long ago. "Ernie". Named after Ernest Hemingway. (I think a lot of polys are named Ernie, LOL) http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/polykitten2.jpg http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/polykitten1.jpg Sherry >> http://www.thecatgallery.com/polydactyl_cats.html >> -- [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Sherry IIRC, Hemingway owned a lot of polys and the decendents of his cats still live on his Florida estate which is a musuem.

It is known as syndactyly and is pretty rare. The vet noticed it right away when I took Rusty for his first checkup after I adopted him. He said it is genetic. Anyone else has a cat with missing toes? Winnie > Rusty is missing a toe on each of his paws. It is known as syndactyly and is > pretty rare.

I think there is a fusion of the knuckles. Doesn't seem to affect his jumping and running. Winnie >> http://www.thecatgallery.com/polydactyl_cats.html >Cute!

My Will, on the other hand, has polydactyl paws which are fairly slender and *less* useful than most cats' paws. He sometimes tries to catch things with his mouth in situations where one would expect him to reach out a paw.

There is an awfully lot of upside downy curly toed bliss going on in that picture! >> http://www.thecatgallery.com/polydactyl_cats.html >> -- [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > http://members.aol.com/jjrich0523/polykitten1.jpg I love kitty tooties. Someday I'm going to be owned by a polydactyl kitty. They are so cute. Pam S. who'd probably become a collector if her current brood allowed oh my god, that's fascinating! Some of those kitties are so cute, especially the one practicing the ballet move, hehehe.
