Cats are prone to polydactyly. What does this mean?
Correct answer: Cats are born with extra toes or claws

NimuaeAvalon, my 2nd and 3rd toes are webbed on each foot. The cat in the picture looks like our cat who adopted us... we called it Charley after my Grandad; later discovering she was female which is unusual for a ginger cat. She was amazing... almost human in nature and very amusing, Miss her soooo much x

Player BARTEMAEUS 10,
Give your cat a scratching post or a log. You’ll never have to clip again. Plus it’s good for them.
