"While most cats have just 18 toes-- five on each front paw and four on each hind paw-- Des has a total of 26.

His owner, Alison Thomas, of Felindre, near Swansea, south Wales, said her pet has seven toes on each front paw and six on each back paw."

The pictures are rather amusing!



Apparently, a 28-toed cat is the record holder.

That's a lot of toes all right.

Those polydactyls weird me out. My friend's cat was one but I think he only had two or three extra toes, can't recall. Some people think their paws look like little mittens. :)
