Feetsie Friday
I'm one of those kitties with extra toes. It's called polydactylism. In Skeezix's weekend catblogging post, he noted that Jelly Pizza was showing off old lady kittie feets, so I HAD to show you mine.
Here's a close-up of my front paws:
And here you can plainly see my left paw just after Mom handed me a kitty treat:
When I was a little kitten, Grandpa affectionately called me "Big Foot." Other people say that I have "mitten paws." I generally like having extra toes because the extra CLAWS come in handy around pesky Jake. The only thing I don't like is that it makes for a more challenging pawdicure.
Are there any other polydactyl cats in the blogosphere?

I don't have extra toes, but your feet are awfully cute!!!
You have such cute toes! The most famous polypawed kitty in the blogosphere is probably Mittens over at The Calico Girls. But I think there are a few others - oh yes, Harper over at the Caturday site has extra toes too!
Yes, Mittens of the Calico Girls is a polydactyly kittie too.
WOW - you looks like a MAGIC cat
Wow, yoo must have a grate advantage when yoo are ressling the evil feevers!
I love your mitten paws. I bet they are grate for catchin things and also fer balancing on ledges an stuff. An very cute too.
Wow, that's LOTS of extra toes! I'm surprised Jake messes with you at all!
I bet you're really good at putting the pounce on things!
And I think you're very pretty Bathsheba.
At our cat shelter we had 2 cats named Lady Fingers and Big Foot with extra thumbs. I used to note their features to prospective adopters. They are sometimes called Ernest Hemingway cats. I always think of the Margaritaville song referring to Key West, Florida and the Hemingway cats.
