Understanding Polydactyl Cats
A polydactyl cat has more than the usual number of toes on its paws. The term means "many fingers" or "many toes."
Characteristics
They may have extra toes on one or more paws, sometimes resembling thumbs. Extra toes are usually not a health concern and do not affect mobility. Polydactyly is a dominant genetic trait.
Polydactyl cats, sometimes called "Hemingway cats," often have charming "mitten paws" and are typically healthy and happy.
