    Yes! And I have pictures! (don't worry its cool and not gross or disturbing at all) I know its sorta common but those of you who've never seen it or even heard of it may find it interesting. I did

    You see my dad's girlfriend moved in and now i have 8 cats to my name! 4 with mom and two with dad. You can see all of my cats in my gallery. here is a collage i made of the original 6

    clockwise: Baby, TJ, Tortie, Salem(thin black), Bitty(black and white), Beefy (fat black)
    (btw Salem is now a fat little porker cat and its hard to tell them apart)

    but anyway two of the four at my dads have mutated paws. its cool though. It just means that they have a few extra toes. but they are different. ones more formed and one of them has mutations on its back feet as well.

    the new guys. Simba is the 6mo old butterscoth looking tabby. Twix is the big skinny one. He is special. he has a tail that is twice as long as normal. he's very lithe and thin and has a wedge shaped head. and also the most toes i've seen on a cat.

    and i said two of them had mutated paws. Beefy's two front paws have some extra toes:

    i don't have a picture of it but my friend (and neighbor) has a cat with only one extra toe. so i know three of these special cats. there is a name for the mutation i think the cats with it are called called 'Polydactyls' (with more than two extra toes) and 'Paradacyl' with only one. thats what i think it was. my spelling may be a tad off.

    =^.^= i love cats!
