Who were Ernest Hemingway's cats?

Mr Pleasure Puss Hemingway acquired his first cat from a ship's captain in Key West, Florida. This cat (Mr Pleasure Puss), which may have been a Maine Coon, had extra toes (technically known as polydactyl, latin for "many digits"). Today, approximately 60 cats, half of them polydactyl, make their home in the Ernest Hemingway Museum and Home, in Key West, protected by the terms of his will.
