Is it bad if your kittens have extra toes?
Not necessarily. Cats who have extra toes are called "polydactyl cats." This is caused by a genetic mutation. Their paws may look like they have thumbs or mittens, and it is not dangerous to a cat's health. Sometimes, these cats are actually bred for the extra toes. On the other hand, there are cases in which it can be a potentially serious problem. This is a condition called radial hypoplasia, in which the extra toes are not separate from the normal toes but are adjacent to them. This makes the cat's foot appear flat instead of like a mitten.
