They may not be as extravagant as Frank and Louie, the two-faced cat that made the Guinness Book of World Records, but these little kitties have still stolen our hearts.
Meet Ned and Fred: the baby kittens that, between the two of them, have 18 extra toes! Typically, cats have five toes on their front paws and four on their hind paws, but these kittens are a bit more unique. Ned has an extra 8 toes, and Fred has an extra ten!
But don’t worry, the extra toes don’t affect the cats’ health. In fact, it’s pretty common amongst cats to have an extra toe or two (usually not 8, but still). It’s so common, that there’s a word for it: polydactyl.
So, if the trend for 2011 was “cats surviving stuff”, maybe the trend for 2012 will be “cats born with extra stuff”?
