Here's a bit more about it:
* Extra Toes: Cats with polydactylism have extra toes, often on their front paws. They can have one or two extra toes, or even more in some cases.
* Not a Mutation: Polydactylism is not a mutation, but rather a genetic trait.
* Hemingway Cats: It's particularly common in cats descended from Ernest Hemingway's cats, who were known for having polydactylism.
* Function: While it doesn't affect a cat's health, the extra toes can give them a slightly different gait.
So, if you see a cat with more than the usual five toes, it's just a sign of their unique genetic makeup!
