Disabled kitten

Ahh...Polly Paws is a 'four wheeler'
I didn't know of the incidence of Meezer with 'little big paws'
But, coincidentally, I have a cousin, who is (unfortunately) breeding
Three days ago she had a litter of Meezers and one is 'poly'.
She said the Dad is 'poly' too.
At least if she insists on breeding she's doing it the right way, she's careful to avoid inbreeding. I just don't get it though. She's not producing show quality cats. But, her Mom did the same, years ago. That's where I got my love of Meezers. BTW, My Meezer is rescued! And I'm thinking about rescuing another.

P.S. sorry about all the smileys, I just can't seem to not use them.

My rescue group rescued two dozen cats from a small town. About 85% of these were polydactyl, and 90% orange. This was a heavily inbred colony with a high mortality rate. I don't know about the genetics of two poly's but the poly gene is dominant. It may be a spontaneous mutation.
