Paws, a Polydact Cat With Toes Galore

Deirdre Goss
Whether called polydactyls, Hemingway Cats, or Mittens, these many-toed cats warm the hearts and hearths of those people fortunate to share a home with one. The extra toes on polydactyl cats produce very wide feet which have been variously described as resembling "paddles," "snowshoes," or "waffles," when they walk.

You'll appreciate those descriptions when you see these pictures of polydactyl kitties submitted by readers of About Cats. You may submit your own photos of polydactyl Cats, using the Photo Submittal Guidelines. Please use "Polydactyl Cats" as the subject of your email.
