This
is my male cat, Thumbs. He is a bob-tail and polydactyl cat!
Thumbs, so named because his extra "toes" on his front paws looked like
huge thumbs when he was a baby, and as he has grown, so have his two
extra, fully equipped paws!
Clumsy as a kitten with his huge floppy paws and his short, nubby tail,
this does not prohibit his jumping and balancing activities at all
today! He perches on stools, counter tops, the refrigerator, even on
the edge of the stair railing at the top of a high vaulted ceiling.
Thumbs makes friends easily with humans but plays a bit rough with other
cats, especially his 16-year-old housemate, KoKo. Thumbs loves to
play "fetch" while his Mommy throws the ball. With his extra
appendages, he is learning to give a "High 9"!
