This is true the polydactyl cats parents would most likely have been brother and sister
Polydactyl is a genetic abnormality that is sometimes seen in cats as well as other species. Polydactyl cats are not bred to have the extra digits, and there is no true percentage of this occurrence. The only exception is the Maine Coon which disreputable breeders will attempt breeding.
Kittens can be polydactyl. Polydactyl means an extra toe. It is harmless and will not be a problem. It is a genetic feature of some cats.
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.
they arn't really worth more money than other cats (though some people might pay more if they want one), but many people like them for their uniqueness. It sure is cool if you have one :)
Inbreeding!

Calico Polydactyl Manx cats are relatively common, though there are no exact statistics on the number of cats in the United States. The cats are often sold for high prices.
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!

Polydactyl cats are common. So probably nothing more.
Siamese cats and thorobred race horses would be two examples of inbreeding.

polydactyl means many fingers. It refers to people or creatures that have more fingers or toes then what they are suppose to have.
That's another name for polydactyl cats (have more than the usual number of toes).

Bottleneck can result in less fertility caused by increased inbreeding. Inbreeding can cause many birth defects since the gene pool is limited.
