Here are a couple pics of my 5 year old male orange tabby (color) polydactyl (thats right he has thumbs) and a 7 month old female calico (color)! The males name is Tiger and the Female Nollee (Nole-Lee)!

Your calico reminds me of another person's cat on this forum... Rosiemac's Rosie.

Thanks! Really she resembles another cat on this forum! Aww Id love to see a picture! She is my recent addition to the family. My rescued feral! Both were barn kittens at one time and I've been so lucky to have such well behaved cats! Thank you for the welcome!

LOL her calico is just precious! Great pics! Mines just a little nubbins right now! She is under 5 pounds! Shes petite and very colorful! She has rustic red, orange, blond, brown, white, and black! Her belly is white as well as all of her paws and the little circles under her nose! She has strong tabby markings on her face and one of her legs! Her hind legs are solid black with white patches! Had to have her! Very unique I must say... Her ear is nipped tho which is weird (ear tipping from the TNR program)!

Ohh YAY another poly!!! He is sooo cute


Zoey is a poly
His toes look just like hers.. do they have a small 'toe/nail' in between the thumb and the rest of the toes?

Thank you for explaining what a polydactyl is! All of a sudden today I have seen a whole bunch of posts with that word and I confess my ignorance to not knowing what they were talking about. But now I know, and that is why I am on TCS.

It really is difficult to get in between there! We do it more often now to make sure it's less of an issue! I love their capabilities to grab things and make fists like normal cats cannot!

Thank you! I love it! Tiger gives us the thumbs up and makes little fists! Its too cute for words! Everytime I look at my non poly it seems that something is missing! My first cat was the poly (so normal feet are actually quite strange to me)!

Sorry about your kitty by the way! I had to have my 13 year old dog put down December 4, 2006! Bad month!
