    I had a cat with two extra toes on each paw - didn't know they called them that. We called them witches cats locally.

    Coco rarely went to the vet but on one occasion when she did they had a locum in and a couple of trainees from the local college. The locum had never seen a polydactyl cat before and got all excited and called in the trainees to see her.
    They were pleased to see a polydactyl in the flesh and Coco of course loved the attention.

  • Aww, you're cheating...it's all in the camera angle!

    Maybe it's a white and black cat thing?

    That's my I-phone :cool:

    My Pixie Bob is Poly footed....he has 7 toes on one front paw and 6 toes on the other. He looks like he's wearing boxing gloves! In fact, on the 7 toed one he has what looks like 2 seperate paws on one leg...they each have a pad and toes!

    He's lovely!

  • Ernest Hemingway's cat was polydactyl and there are still descendants of his cat at his home in Key West. http://www.hemingwayhome.com/HTML/our_cats.htm Am going to take a photo of my Maine Coon's feet soon - he is enormous.

    No - £350 / £400 for a pet quality. £800 or so for breeding queen, possibly £1000 for a stud with a seriously good pedigree http://www.maine-coon-cat-club.com/kittens/ . Have tried for photo, but he doesn't like the flash. I have some on other computer will put them on in a bit.
