He looks like he’s about to swipe at something with those extra toes of his… He’s cute!
Wow! I’ve never heard of a seven toed kitty! He’s the cutest! He’s going to have huge feet when he grows up!
THAT is a really cute kitten
I *love* polydactyls!!! I have one now, a black and white tuxedo little boy named Ninja. I may have made a mistake in naming him that ’cause he just gets into *everything*!!! But he’s so cute and so sweet (and so smart) he knows how to get around me everytime! Give Sidney a kiss for me.
He is adorable! What a little ferret face. (That is a compliment–I love ferrets too.) Love the feet. Great photo, too.
WTF is wrong with that cat?
seriously
is it stuffed or something?

Hey,don’t mind what number 6 said,they are probably very young and ignorant in the ways of THE CAT. He is absolutely adorable,toes and all! Love on him for me- I have 3 wonderful babies,3 of whom are rescues..thanks for the picture and good luck with Sidney!
This is seriously one of the cutest kittens I have ever seen! Why the birth defect? Is it part raccoon?
Actually, polydactyls are increasingly common, especially among certain purebred cats. (Owner — is that a ragdoll kitten I see? Gorgeous.) Some of these polys use their extra front toes as a sort of opposable “thumb,” for gripping.
Looks like a snowshoe to me — ragdolls are longhaired. But I think it is a moggie actually. What you said about polydactyls being common among certain purebreds isn’t really true. It’s a disqualification in show standard, and reputable breeding weeds out mutations.
OH MY GOD….I think I’m in love! He does have a little ferret face! Forget the #6 post. Give him an extra dose of belly rubs for me!
I just wanna kiss all the cats toes…. oxoxoxo
Okay — someone did their math wrong….7+7=14 front toes, then 4+4= 8 back toes…so this cat has 22 toes, not 24. Unless the cat’s owner thinks that normal cat feet have five toes in back…
i love this kitten it is so adorable. i also love the polydactyl cats i used to have many of them and when they are kittens their paws are cute. the cat i have now is about 4 or 5 and she is fixed now but i loved getting to see the kittens when they were born Ubany, my polydact cat, had 6 toes on one pawand 7 on the other and is the sweetest cat i have ever had.
even if he has big feet he still very cute
omg! sooo adorable! i have a polydactyl cat too. very sweet & smart. I LOVE THIS PICTURE! have fun with sydney : ]
I Love HIM and I ” Love to eat those mousies, mousies what I love to eat, …”
so i have a cat with 7 toe and has 24 toe too but he is all white and has some orange in him
I have a poly cat as well. She is pure black and just adorable. I have a question though. Does anyone know of a web page that has information on poly cats giving birth? Midnight ( my poly) is giving birth as I type this
