This is my family's baby, "Mittens". He's about a year old now. Not sure of the breed but found him as a stray when he was about 2 months old. We noticed his mittens. hence the name, immediately. He has 3 extra claws on each front paw. My younger son who was five at the time named him. We've never been a cat family per say, always dogs and birds, but everyone gets along great and Mittens has shown us how to open our hearts to just about everything.

What a great picture. He looks like he found a great home!
Cutie! I like the name, Mittens. He looks like a
friendly, snuggley, guy .
Hi Lisa,
Your Mittens is a "polydactyl", and is a very interesting kitty. Only a polydact can parent another
polydact. The Maine Coon was the first kitty known
You have a little treasure living with you. :)
All the best,

I have a cat like this. He is 2 and orange. he has 6 toes on both front paws. The vet said they are the best mousers. They were on the ships long ago to catch mice.
Mittens looks so sweet and is so pretty. It's amazing how those little fluff balls can make one a cat person.
Awwww! What a precious little baby with all those toes:) It looks like he found a wonderful loving home! He is just adorable:)
Hi Lisa, I have a polydactyl cat too. He has 8 toes on each front paw and he is such a love bug. He is my baby. He is white with lemon color on him the markings are like a siamese(spelling) cat has. He also has long hair. Take care of your special kitty.

I didn't know that there was a special name for this kind of breed. I was just told that it was like a deformity. But I love our little tabby.
Tabatha her name is and she walks with her feet at 10 to 2!!
Was gonna call her sommat like mittens or thumbs but opted for Tabatha as she was tabby.
She wasn't all that affectionate until we had her spayed. Now she follows me all about. Even to the loo!!!
She's a funny little thing.
Lisa,
I also have a polydactyl, she is calico. Her name is Miha. My husband found her on the side of the road all skin and bones she meowed alot so now we call her "Meow". She is such a lover and only sleeps with us.
I just got a 6 week old kitten last Friday and she has extra toe on her front paws. I named her Autumn. She is so cute! I will send a picture of her next week! The lady I got her from told me she was 9 weeks and ready to go, but she is not 9 weeks. She is six weeks!
This is our Poly cat, his name is Nemo, and he is about 30lbs of love. He is a rescue and we welcomed him w/wide arms into our brood of 6 others.
