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.
A genetically different cat.
A cat that has more than the usual number of toes is known as a polydactyl cat. Polydactyly is a genetic trait that causes cats to be born with extra toes, typically on their front paws. This condition is relatively common and can sometimes be seen in various cat breeds.
A cat that has extra toes is a polydactyl.
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.
Yes, the Pixiebob is a breed of domestic cat known for its unique bobtail and wild appearance. They are large, muscular cats with polydactyl paws. Pixiebobs are known for their friendly and sociable personalities.
A polydactyl cat has six toes on each paw, or perhaps more.

Yes
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!
That's another name for polydactyl cats (have more than the usual number of toes).
An odd-eyed polydactyl.
A cat that has extra toes is a 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...
There almost certainly isn't a correlation between having genes for polydactyly and genes for intelligence.
The Hemingway house is in Key West. The "animal attraction" is the Hemingway cat, which have more than five toes per paw. Any cat having more than five toes on a paw is referred to as polydactyl. The Hemingway cats are so well known that almost any polydactyl cat is called a Hemingway cat, regardless of where the cat is from.
Their names are just Cat and Dog!
