Are they trying to breed a cat who can operate a can opener?
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.
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.
From a catery. Can't help but wonder if the breeders are irresponsible and inbreeding their cats.
Down voting stuff like this helps a little, but it's kind of a catch 22.
Oh kitty noooo that's too many toes
Why is she throttling him
That’s a beany baby!
Take your upvote.
Take that, Hemingway.
It is a Maine Coon, known for extra toes, but this is kinda ridiculous. I hope kitty will be able to live a comfy life with what? over a dozen extra digits?
Imagine when that kitty starts making biscuits on your belly!
He's a Maine Coon, that's already going to be a near death experience. Maine Coons are huge!
i bet that hurts when its about to rain
