So here I was thinking I was getting a normal kitten at 10 this morning. So the guy hands her to me saying she is special and shows me this......
The first two are her back paw. The right one I believe, but the left is just the same, same with her front paws. The only difference on her front paws is that one of them has an extra claw that I am going to have removed. But other than that she has 10 toes and "fingers" (front paws)
So question is.... Is this something to worry about? What causes this?
But I guess intro's are due. My name is Matt, I live in Mojave Ca. I have another cat named Tomou that is black and white. I can post pics tomorrow of him. I also have 2 dogs, one named Xael ( He is my Gf's dog) and one is named snow. Snow I got for Christmas last year as a little white puffball and Xael we got about 4 months before that. Tomou I found last year out side when I first got into CA. He live with me in my motel for 3 weeks before I got an actual place.
All 4 are healthy as can be I have just never seen a cat have 10 toes on the back and front and it actually look like she was supposed to have them. I have seen a cat with a paw that had 10 toes as well as dogs, one of my friend had one with 11 toes. The extra 3 toes were on one paw......
But with her, like I said, I have never seen extra toes be so uniform between all 4 paws on an animal. Needless to say her paws are HUGE for her size. She is only 2mo old, and the guy I got her from said that the whole litter was this way. So she wasn't the only one.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
Matt
