A polydactyl cat has six toes on each paw, or perhaps more.
A cat that has extra toes is a polydactyl.
If a cat has any amount of extra toes, they are polydactyl.
Polydactyl means having more than the usual number of fingers or toes. Most Cats have 5 digits on each paw. A polydactyl has extra digits, usually 6. Cats are not the only animal to be considered polydactyl. In fact people may also have more than 10 fingers or toes!
Thumbelina, mittens, ernie (Hemingway owned over 60 of these cats), gene as in genedefect, and thumbs. Just some common ideas. I have a girl names Polly as in polydactyl.
That's another name for polydactyl cats (have more than the usual number of toes).
An odd-eyed polydactyl.
Like the person above said, a cat with 6 toes means they have a recessive gene that makes it called a polydactyl cat. Its just a cat with more toe's than the average cat. Calico's are just different. You can ask the same thing for humans, 'Why do some humans only have 11 pairs of ribs?'. It's just the way they are. PS To the person above, how did u know that recessive gene thing? Ever thought of being a doctor or a vet? I want to be a vet. That would be so awesome...
when your cat hiss does it hurt them
There almost certainly isn't a correlation between having genes for polydactyly and genes for intelligence.
The Ernest Hemingway House is located in Key West, Florida. The main animal attraction at the house is the Hemingway cats, which are Polydactyl cats or six-toed cats. This genetic mutation makes them unique and they are considered good luck at the house.
