Mittens - Cat with Extra Toes

This is my family's baby, "Mittens". He's about a year old now. Not sure of the breed but found him as a stray when he was about 2 months old. We noticed his mittens. hence the name, immediately. He has 3 extra claws on each front paw. My younger son who was five at the time named him. We've never been a cat family per say, always dogs and birds, but everyone gets along great and Mittens has shown us how to open our hearts to just about everything.

Hi Lisa,
Your Mittens is a "polydactyl", and is a very interesting kitty. Only a polydact can parent another
polydact. The Maine Coon was the first kitty known

to have the gene for being a polydactyl, and Maine
Coon cats are famous for their sweet and loving
dispositions. Because the author Hemingway was
given a cat who was a polydactyl while living in Key
West, Florida, these sweet creatures have carried the
nickname of "Hemingway Cats" ever since. If you'll type in Hemingway Cats, you'll find loads of information regarding your furry baby. From that first
polydact came all the others, and if you ever go to
Key West, and visit the old Hemingway House, you'll see many of them. I think there were over 50 of
them living at the house the last time we visited.

You have a little treasure living with you. :)

All the best,
Julia in Orlando, FL

Mittens looks so sweet and is so pretty. It's amazing how those little fluff balls can make one a cat person.

Hi Lisa, I have a polydactyl cat too. He has 8 toes on each front paw and he is such a love bug. He is my baby. He is white with lemon color on him the markings are like a siamese(spelling) cat has. He also has long hair. Take care of your special kitty.

I didn't know that there was a special name for this kind of breed. I was just told that it was like a deformity. But I love our little tabby.
Tabatha her name is and she walks with her feet at 10 to 2!!
Was gonna call her sommat like mittens or thumbs but opted for Tabatha as she was tabby.
She wasn't all that affectionate until we had her spayed. Now she follows me all about. Even to the loo!!!
She's a funny little thing.

Lisa,
I also have a polydactyl, she is calico. Her name is Miha. My husband found her on the side of the road all skin and bones she meowed alot so now we call her "Meow". She is such a lover and only sleeps with us.

She's no longer skin and bones...kind of a chunk: ) She loves to lay on her back. She is the one on the right..Coco is the other. We love our God send.

I just got a 6 week old kitten last Friday and she has extra toe on her front paws. I named her Autumn. She is so cute! I will send a picture of her next week! The lady I got her from told me she was 9 weeks and ready to go, but she is not 9 weeks. She is six weeks!

This is our Poly cat, his name is Nemo, and he is about 30lbs of love. He is a rescue and we welcomed him w/wide arms into our brood of 6 others.
