I lived with a polydactyly cat. Huge paws, great for swipin' at things and general mischief.

If my one kitten wasn't so jealous, I would have five more of them licking my face in the morning to wake me up. Mine is so jealous, he would never forgive if a new kitten showed up unannounced.

My previous furry friend had 6 toes. Ever see those slippers that look like big animal feet. That was her feet. I'm surprised none of you noticed this, but that cat has TWO heads! Look at it! Forget the toes man! 3 front paws and two freakin' heads. Whoa-
