I've always joked that if a strain of polydactylism came up where the extra toes were opposable, the human race would be obsolete by cat standards.....

Extra's a puss with 26 toes

"Extra the kitten has been aptly named by her owners - she has 26 toes that give her a distinct advantage over her naturally climbing moggie mates.

Her human family noticed there was something different with the three-month-old kitten when she started scratching more than other cats.

"You would sort of want to wear boxing gloves when you play with her," says Kaelene Gerrard, who lives with her partner Eli Eliu and daughters Mercy, six, and 12-year-old Shardae."

I thought cats only had 4 toes on each hind foot?

We used to make much the same joke for Judy's Lippizans . . . [grin]
