Yes, those are extra toes. Six toes on all four paws. Takes after her parents. Of the six kittens total, four had six extra toes, and one of them had seven.

Runt, Alex, Jason, and Thorn. (Thorn had the seven.) Stubby and Duo didn't.

my bff's cat Ziti is polydactyl

Alex died when he was six weeks old from Fading Kitten Syndrome, and I had to give Jason, Thorn, and Duo up for adoption because they were driving my dad batshit.
Just a Shadow
We had thirteen cats in the house at the time.

The boys went to a no-kill shelter and got adopted out to really good homes.

aww :c what's fading kitten syndrome? ;~;
Just a Shadow
The lady running the place was proud of how well I raised them. lol, their mom did most of it, I just handled the socialization with humans part.

also Runt's really cute, I love plain old orange kitties

I have four cats c: two tortoise shell calicos, one white odd-eyed, and a gray one with a white patch on her chest and tip of her tail and if you look closely on her tail there are slightly darker gray rings

all girls, the youngest one, Zelda, is the white one and she hates me for some reason unknown to me, though she'll enjoy attention from me if she's sleepy?? haha she's strange

Here's a link to it. The vet wasn't sure what caused Alex's, because as far as we could tell he seemed fine. We were literally told sometimes it just happens. -__-

Awe, they all sound pretty. Ha, Runt's like that when it comes to belly rubs. Hates it awake, but asleep she stretches out and loves it...until she realizes what's going on and then I get bit.

aww :c yeah my insane aunt has this one cat who's really old by now, but when she was really young she had two separate littlers of kittens and none of them ever made it, I remember her hiding away for days
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
cause she was so devastated all her kittens died, *litters
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
also wow every orange cat I've seen has been a boy and I was wondering if that was a thing, but I guess not since you said Runt's a girl lol
Just a Shadow
Awwww, that sucks. We feed the feral cats out back too, and Ran had at least three litters that all died. The babies were just too sick from birth. Ran herself died a few years back, and all the ferals out back

now are spayed. Saix hasn't been neutered because he's frigging insane and I've already been clawed by him once. It required an ER visit and antibiotics.
Just a Shadow
Yeah, her mom's orange too. Pretty much all of our current seven are, with the exception of Azzy, he's white with orange, and my brother's Brat, who's grey and white, but she's not related to the others.
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
Aww. Yeah my one tortie, Chloe, when we got her fixed the vet had to wear these long, heavy lead gloves to get her out of the cage so we could bring her home because she was so violent ffff
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
She's our oldest cat, she hasn't been to a vet since.

Poor kitty. I kind of agree with the kitty mentality of 'vets are evil', except when they're obviously sick and then it's off they go no matter how much they dislike it.
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
Yeah thankfully she hasn't really been sick. They all have itchy ears, but I don't think it's mites cause we took our other tortie, Lily, to the hospital my sister works at and it was just an ear infection.

We used to have a male cat named Ambrose up until a few years ago, he passed away from this really awful tumor : ( we couldn't afford to get him to the vet until it was too late. He died on the table. They were
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
gonna amputate the leg his tumor was on, but he collapsed before they could even do anything. They revived him, but he collapsed again so they couldn't save him. I was at school and came home to the news :c
Just a Shadow
Oh, I'm so sorry. /huggle
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
Yeah, he was my mom's favorite, she loved him very much. She was crying when I came home. I miss him, he was white with orange patches.
Ｄｅａｎ {♚}
It was really confusing when he started getting sick and thinner. We never let our cats outside or anything, but I guess that kinda stuff just kind of happens, so :c
