Some Maine Coons are born with 6 toes! (And she is one of them...they are so cute!)
Early in the breed’s development, Maine Coons were often
polydactyls, meaning they were born with extra appendages on their paws.
Some experts estimate that as many as 40% of early Maine Coons had this
characteristic. It stemmed from a genetic mutation, which some people
say helped the cats use their paws as “natural snowshoes” during snowy
Maine winters.
How she ended up in Memphis, TN I'll probably never know. But she was born in the south and she was the most adorable kitten Ive ever seen. Also, the most intelligent!
