Title: Paws for thought Post by: Lovelee on May 12, 2009, 10:22:26 am (http://static.stuff.co.nz/1241949031/770/2399770.jpg) Here is one kitten that looks like it has not lost its mittens. Meet Mr Mittens, a polydactyl cat with six digits on all four paws. His owner, Christchurch man Tom Donaldson, was working in Coalgate when a cat that had befriended him gave birth to two kittens in the bush at the back of the house he was renovating. "I decided to turn them both into city cats, so I brought them home," he said. The normal-pawed kitten is called Ed, after Sir Edmund Hillary, because he is adventurous. The other kitten was named Mr Mittens after his large thumb-like extra digit. "He walks with a slight swagger but that's his only oddity; he's like a normal cat in every other way." http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/cutestuff/2399768/Paws-for-thought |
