I've always loved how the word polydactyl sounds like a a dinosaur

Also I for one welcome cats getting opposable thumbs and taking over

Missed opportunity. They should have named him Toeby.

I completely misread that as a cat setting a record by breaking 29 of its toes and I am so glad I was wrong

Really weird seeing photos of a cat with way too many toes and I'm the first one in the comments to find it weird that everyone is just accepting this as a real photo.

I mean it seems legit but, y'know? Too many digits on the Internet and all that? Lol

What does the pneumonia have to do with the record? It now sounds like the pneumonia gave it extra toes. I'm moderately confident that's not how it happened.

Oh man, there is a record for that? Pawsitraction would have won that if they were still alive. Friends cat, had 7 beans on 3 of their paws and 9 on the other. Ah wells, probably for the best, would have gotten in the way of sitting quietly and cuddling, which is all them and their owner wanted in life.

From a catery. Can't help but wonder if the breeders are irresponsible and inbreeding their cats.

unfortunately being a maine coone its likely to be bred this way on purpose, from an unethical breeder/backyard. having polydactyl abnormality increases the cats chances of other genetic defects, like heart, skeletal issues. an ethical breeder wont try to breed a cat with polydactylism.

Oh kitty noooo that's too many toes

That’s a beany baby!

Mewgenics moment

I just hope that the cat will be able to walk comfortably with all of those toes. If not, it may require surgery to remove some.

Take that, Hemingway.

Are they trying to breed a cat who can operate a can opener?

Enough beans to feed a family of four!

"All the better to knead you with."

Is this a product of inbreeding?
