She is beautiful!!! Wow she does have thumbs. Names?? Thumbalina

[wantacatplease]

LOVE Thumbalina!! She's beautiful, OP.

[Velve]

Aww she's beautiful. And look at those thumbs!

[IScreamForIceCream]

She's excellent. I love black cats - especially as most people don't and they languish in rescues.

Her thumbs are superb.

[StrumpersPlunkett]

Polly short for Polydactyl the name o the condition that gives her extra digits
fwiw I really wanted thumbelina but DH said NO!!

[FoxSticks]

Thumbs? You do realise a cat with thumbs probably could take over the the world She's gorgeous

[IScreamForIceCream]

The medical latiny name for thumb is pollex, I think.

So - Polly?

[IScreamForIceCream]

Ha - cross post. She is a differently-named Polly! That is amazing!

[StrumpersPlunkett]

[BuilderMammy]

[wantacatplease]

Polly is fabulous!

[thecageisfull]

She's gorgeous. My cat has thumbs too and I have, rather morbidly, started wondering what it would be like to have a cat in the future with normal paws and not have people say 'fucking hell! Look at her feet!' when she climbs on them.
I even googled polydactyl breeders

[fabulousfour]

Polly is fabulous. Love her.

[StrumpersPlunkett]

Yay another thumbed cat... thecageisful are the rescue center totally right that it has NO implications on movement jumping etc..

[StampyIsMyBoyfriend]

She's beautiful! Never understood why some people aren't keen on black cats, we love them. We adopted one who was very old & sadly dies 18 months later, we fostered another until he was homed & then we spent a ridiculous amount of money on a Bombay (Black Burmese, looks like a panther)
