We have a Poly-dactyl or Hemingway cat and she has 5 on the front and 4 each on the back, she recently had kittens and they all have 5 or 6 toes on each paw!! I have read that they can have as many as 7.

Contrary to the above post, a cat NORMALLY has five toes on the front feet and four on the back. Only the kittens mentioned above are polydactyl.

How many toes do cats have on front foot?

Typically a cat will have five toes, four on the front of the foot and one up towards the heel. Each toe has a claw, but only the four at the front of the foot also have hairless "pads". The central pad on a cat's foot is not a toe but what would be the ball of a human's foot. Polydactyl cats--having six toes--became famous when Hemingway adopted one. Many "barn" cats are this type of cat.
