When, Where and How I Got My Polydactyl Cat

Charlie isn't mine but I have been catsitting him since he was a kitten. His Mom is a friend & former neighbour of mine. She got him when he was a kitten -around 3-4 months old from another neighbours friend who was looking for homes for a litter of kittens. He was free. I cat sit Charlie, in his home, during the summer for a week or so & again at Christmas for 2 weeks while his Mom goes to visit her Family. He knows me & trusts me.

I'd Describe My Cat As…

Charlie is loving & affectionate, trills when he's happy, playfull, loves his tummy rubbed, loves grooming except for those nasty matts he sometimes gets around his butt. His feet don't give him any medical problems at all & they don't get in his way. In fact other than having to watch his weight has no medical problems & never has. Charlie is a very large Red Maine Coon

Advice

  • Get one...doesn't require any medical care at all other than regular check-ups
