eeek met our new cat today she has THUMBS!!! I love her!

[StrumpersPlunkett]

she is 2 years old and totally black with piercing green eyes.
Having said goodbye to 2 cats in the last 18 months this feels like a lovely happy thing for our family

A cat with thumbs?? Haven't you seen the adverts??

Pictures puuuurlease. You are making me broody.

Thumbs?

We're doomed.

Here she is

So sweet. She really does have thumbs! Now you neex to train her to do back massages!

Need not neex lol

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

LOVE Thumbalina!! She's beautiful, OP.

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

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

Her thumbs are superb.

Polly short for Polydactyl the name o the condition that gives her extra digits

fwiw I really wanted thumbelina but DH said NO!!

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

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

So - Polly?

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

wonderful x post Iscream

Aw, she's adorable! Congratulations : ) and keep us posted on how her attempts to take over the world go

Prof I loved that advert

Polly is fabulous!

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

Polly is fabulous. Love her.

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

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)
