    Hi Pat,

    It’s called polydactyl in cats and it does not affect the health of the kitty.

    Thanks for being so wonderful to the kittens!

    I have a cat with 6 toes in the front and 5 on the back, I read on wikipedia that this is the most rare form of polydactyl, do you know how rare this is? you know like 1 in 000,000??????

    3 weeks ago 1 of my cat gave birth to 5 kittens one of the kittens was born with 7 toes n her front feet and 5 toes on the back… On May 18th 2011 her sister also gave birth to 5 kittens and 1 was born with 6 toes on her front feet & 6 toes on on her back feet. How rare are these 2 kittens? I know the 6 toed kittens are called “mitten kittens” or polydactil kittens. But what do u call a 7 toed kitten? Both moms have normal feet.
