In reply to Autumn. It is rare to have male calico cats. They are usually female. You are fortunate on both counts 😀.

Thank you for this information. My wife just found a kitten outside that was whining. We do not see any other cats or kittens out there. I wonder where it came from. It is Polydactyl. I always thought this happened due to inbreeding. I had a polydactyl cat in college, that’s where the inbreeding rumor came from. Well, this little fella just found a new home & has 2 brother cats & a sister kitten to play with & grow up with. Our family just grew by one. Off to the vet tomorrow. Learned something today.

My calico went put and came back pregnant, to our surprise 6 kittens, the orange ones have normal feet but the ones with grey, males all hve 6 toes in front and one with a one extra in the back. They use their paws like hands. Sam, my biggest boy and with extra toes, looks like a mane coon and has a wonderful personality. I love my babies but someone about these 6 toes boys. I live in southeast Tennessee and they were born October 1, 2022

We have a tabby my son named BIGFOOT. I wish it wouldn’t be so expensive to get his feet x-rayed because he might be a contender to take the world’s record. All 4 feet are festooned with toes.

My ex wife has an orange female with seven toes on each front paw and six on each back foot! She has been a real pistol since the day she brought her home

A previous neighbor of mine had a cat named Toes. He had 6 on all four feet.
