Meet Gabe. He is our new addition to our household. We are such suckers I swear to fall for such a cutie




And imagine our surprise when we were told of his unique feature...

THREE toes!




He has three toes and a thumb on both of his front paws. He looks like he has raptor toes


We really do not need anymore cats but there was no way we could leave him. He was just so desperate for love and attention and my SO was just smitten with him so our fate was sealed.

Thanks all! He is way to cute for his own good.

I have been searching the Internet to see if I can find a name for his toey condition. It has to be genetic since his brothers and sisters also only have 3 toes and a dew claw. So far nothing, but there is tons of info out there only Polydactyl cats


I have to admit my heart melts whenever he starts kneading me when he is napping... way to cute.
