If this is actually your cat, you might get him checked for acromegaly.

Looks like polydactyly to me, which is not uncommon in cats.

Not my kitty, but good to know!

Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.

Ive been to the Hemingway house 20 or so times now (every year I visit) and it’s great. Now i just go to sit there and pet cats. I don’t even care about Hemingway.

If you are not having a very large stiff drink while you are petting them, you may be doing it wrong!

That's rad! I want to go there some day exclusively for the cats

Not terribly rad… He was an epic alcoholic

Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.

I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.
