Have you have owned a multi toed cat? We've actually had several in the many years we've owned hats. So far the most toes we've had on a foot is 7. I've loved our mitten kittens because they are so funny when they walk.

I myself have never owned a cat with more that 5 toes that i've known of. but my best friend had a cat named crystal that had 6 toes. she was a really sweet friendly cat.

Yes, I had one cat, whose real name was Koshka, but we called him Footie for as you can guess he had the extra toes..only on the front feet...he had six toes on each front paw..Here is a picture of him as a kitten...he is now in the Land of Bast

I used to own several 6 toed cats. They didn't walk any different than normal cats but it was kind of neat to see that extra toe. Also whenever the females had litters there was always a couple of kittens that had the 6 toes as well. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I would love to have a multi-toed cat! I see them come through humane societies from time to time, but my boyfriend wont let us have any more cats :( but next time I can I'm going to look out to get one.

oh, yes, i have had several polydactyls.. my favotire was Twinkle. Poor thing I named him (yeah, him) twinkle the day he was born without checking, so didn't realize he was a he, not a she. But he compensated by growing to weigh in at 17+ pounds, and with 6 claws on each front paw he was the terror of the neighborhood. I remember so well my next door neighbor who owned the most obnoxious terriers. They would actually come to my front steps growling and snapping, daring me to leave my own door. I, and Twinkle, hated those mutts. Well, one fine day the man shows up at my door complaining that I must pay a vet bill cause my cat had clawed up his doggie. When I asked how he knew it was MY cat, he showed me the very plain 6 claw marks across mutt dog's face. I laughed aloud and told him that if the dog was in my yard he got what he deserved, so sue me. I also informed him that I was through being threatened at my own steps and the next time I faced those dogs at my steps I would blow their little brains out. Needless to say, a fence magically appeared the next weekend in his yard. No more dog troubles lol. And Twinkle seemed very pleased with himself on the day of the cat attack. I think he had had enough too.

Ya know, I've probably had nearly 50 cats over the years (most with me now or at least recently.) I have never had a poly. I had a friend call them "toedy" cats. I've always wanted one, but... well, I get what God sends my way.

I had a cat with 8 toes in the front and 7 in the back. The front looked like two paws at angles to each other at the end of his leg. Also like two catcher's mits. He would curl each of his double feet around rocks, stick out his chest, bring his head back and yowl. He thought he was the lion king!
