Polydactals....msg/pic

Miss Polly Paws is beautiful! With all those cute toesies I bet you like to play "This little piggie" with her!
I have met a few polydactyl cats and they seem to make great tree climbers with all the extra grippers they have.

What a proliferation of piggly-wigglys on Ms Polly! I love the way she is doily'd on the couch! I think Pollys are special...wait a minute, I think all cats are special!

OMG! What a beauty!! I just love polydactyls! Those big feet are just too too precious! The front paws remind me of winter gloves! She's a doll! I'm so glad you rescued her! More pics, more pics!!

**hugs**

She is such a beauty that I can see how the officer of the pound would have a hard time!

I've been to the Hemingway House in Key West. Interesting place, and lots and lots of cats. I know I've see polys before then too, but I don't remember where. It just seems like they have super big paws - which is so cute.

T&P's mom, wasn't the Hemmingway house great??!! I went on a cruise for my honeymoon, and Key West was the first stop. Of course we had to eat Key Lime pie and then visit the Hemmingway house. I just loved all the polydactyl cats there! Did you notice the signs that said "please do not pick up the cats"....of course I accidentally (on purpose) didn't notice the sign until it was too late! I was already cuddling an adorable tabby kitty with enormous paws! I got some pics of the Hemmingway kitties, I may have to scan and post!

Yeah, it was really neat. I don't remember seeing the signs, but as soon as I bent over - didn't even get close to picking one up - some guard or something was there saying "Do not pick up the cats!" I just thought geesh buddy, I just wanted to pet the thing! So after that I felt like he was watching me so I didn't get too close to them. I did love their paws though, and did take pictures too. Hmm.....wonder where those pictures are now......

I love the spots on the pad of her toes...they are so soft & kissable...

What a beautiful cat! I love her markings.

I wouldn't know if Polly Paws' pads are kissable...attempting that would likely lead to bloodshed and facial scarring!

WOAH now those are big feet

I think I wrote once already about how much I like Marigold's paws, in the cardboard thread. She's a super-cutie! And the way she sleeps in that cardboard box, mmmmm, I wish I was there to smooch her.

Awwww, Marigold is adorable! I love her big paws, and I can see how her spots would be so kissable. She looks like a real sweetie.

Oh my god, Polly and Margold are so sweet. Thanks for posting the pics and telling us more about the condition.
