May be this isnt the right spot for this, as I know they are not a breed. I was just wondering how many of you guys have polydactals (extra toe kitties)? And if youve noticed any personality traits that go along with the extra toes? Also are they more likely female, cuz all my polys were.
I had a cat from the time I was 13 til I was 32 who was a poly. She was my best friend. I went a few years without a cat, and found a stray who was also a poly, and I felt like it was fate. She was pregnant when I found her, and she had 7 kittens, 2 of them also poly. I kept one of the polys, so now I have 2.
In researching the subject, I found that about 10percent of cats have extra toes. Also, that it is a genetic trait, which has to be passed down from one of the parents. Every one always told me it was just imbreeding, but my research contridicted that. Anyway, I guess all purbred cats were imbred at sometime, huh?
The subject just interests me, and I would like to get you alls thoughts.
