Two toes shy of the Guinness Record, abused kitten Biscuit came into our lives a tiny three week old ball of cuddling fluff. Skinny, but with huge feet, as an adult now she can jump six feet up.
Biscuit enjoys biscuits and muffins, taking long walks on thin pipes, and using her six opposable thumbs to open latches and sneak treats to the other rescues. Her current project is figuring out how to operate the window latch.
Poltdactyl cats are also known as Hemingway cats. Author Ernest Hemingway fell in love with them, and his estate has been a dedicated home for the extra toed wonders. There are currently about 50 being treated like royalty at the Hemingway House.
Most Polydactyl cats don't mind and even enjoy water. This is believed by many to be because early immigrants to America brought these felines on the ships to eradicate rats, choosing the extra toed kind because of the extra balance their larger feet offer on deck in stormy seas.
Cats normally have 18 toes, five on front and six on back paws. Biscuit has eight digits on each front (three thumbs each) and six each on her back.
Biscuit is the inspiration for an episodic series centering around a kitten who is discarded onto the streets and the adventures and hardships she must endure.
She also enjoys "helping" me write.
Stay tuned for the Strays!

Yes, Biscuit is a girl. I know! I have developed a cat toe fetish since meeting her!
She is too cute.
She is a little doll :) And best part is she does not know it- her status has not gotten to her head ;)
Thank you
Happy to hear that's everything is turning out well with "Biscuit" , @arbitrarykitten
She is quickly becoming the advocate for the abused pets. When she first got her own social media accounts, she obtained more followers in one day than I had accrued in a year!
Oh wow! Quite the popular one, from what it sounds like! :)
I was surely surprised!
Amazing kitty!
Thank you <3
