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!

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 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. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Mittens - Cat with Extra Toes Post By Robin (Guest Post) (10/19/2006) Hi Lisa, I have a polydactyl cat too.

It's amazing how those little fluff balls can make one a cat person. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Mittens - Cat with Extra Toes Post By Teresa K. (Guest Post) (09/01/2005) I have a cat like this. He is 2 and orange. he has 6 toes on both front paws. The vet said they are the best mousers. They were on the ships long ago to catch mice. They are known as Paradactel.I can't spell that. My cat is named hunter aka Kitty Boy Report Spam or Abuse RE: Mittens - Cat with Extra Toes Post By Julia (Guest Post) (09/01/2005) 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 Report Spam or Abuse RE: Mittens - Cat with Extra Toes Post by meoowmom (1457) | (09/01/2005) Profile | Contact Cutie!
