This is my son's 5 year old polydactyl grey tabby, Oliver. He has the largest "thumbs" we've ever seen on a cat, and is verrrrrrrrry long in length!!!




Anyone else have a long cat like Oliver?

We have a calico that is long - I need to find her picture.

Aristotle is a long cat. Add his 14" tail and he gets veeeeeeeery long.

How about big in every way?
Ivory (Bug) my ex-cat, was long, tall and huge, well, I guess she still is.
She's of no particular breed, born to a feral mom.
This pic was taken when she was 10 months old and 15 pounds.
The guy holding her is of average 5'9" height.

That is my son holding him - he's not particularly tall - about 5'8", but Oliver is very long still.

He wasn't upset - that is his serious, "what's going on?" look. He's really a sweet mellow cat. And doesn't mind being messed with.

Oliver is lovely! All the more tummy for belly rubs.
Love his thumbs - he'd be a great hitch hiking buddy!

I just love great big kitties (odd that my girls are small to average) and those thumbs!

And of course his beautiful blue tabbiness, who could resist?

Oh, he is a gorgeous fellow! I love polydactyls, but I'm kind of glad my Daisy doesn't have thumbs. As much as she gets into now, she'd probably learn to open the door and use our car as her escape vehicle. "That's what you get for not letting me go outside, Mama!"

Here's my Son's cat "Howie"

He's a huge 18lb gray tabby polydactyle - I think he'd be long but unfortunately right now he is more round. Both front and back legs have many extra toes.

Oh my goodness - just look at all those digits!!!

And yes - hard to tell how long he is, while rolled up like that!
He is a cutie though.
