Question:
titles says it all. I had one once, six toes on both front paws. He was awesome. rather ...unique in personality. who else has a poly?


Answer:
My cat's mom was a poly. It was the first time I'd ever seen it and it was really cool. I don't think that any of his brothers or sister were poly...then again, I didn't get a good look at them because they were feral.


Answer:
I wonder how it's passed on then. As far as I know, it is genetic , isn't it?

Answer:
I don't have one but my friend has one serious polydactyl cat! I'll have to get her to email me a picture of Chance b/c he has more toes than any other poly I've ever seen in the shelter (and I've seen a whole lot!)


Answer:
I'd love to see it.


Answer:
Wow, Jami, that first article was so cool! Thanks!

It seems like the consensus is that poly is an incomplete dominant trait. The other kittens in Max's litter could have been poly but I didn't get any closer to them than about 15 feet.
