Blue Cream Tortie Polydactyl (Hemingway Cat)
Thumbelina (Lina for short) is a VERY affectionate and loving Polydactyl cat. She was abandoned right before Christmas at Coconino Humane Association. Perhaps the most famous American Polydactyl Cats were those Ernest Hemingway wrote about. The characterizing trait of the American Polydactyl Cat is its feet with their extra toes. One of the conformations of the extra toes looks like a thumb, and for this reason American Polydactyl Cats are also known as Cats with Thumbs. The other conformation is that of another, three-toed foot attached to the cat's four-toed foot. The extra toes may be found on the front feet only or on the back feet only, or all feet may have extra toes. Lina has an extra toe on each foot so she is truly special. Is she one of Ernest Hemingway's cats descendants? She isn't saying... Lina has been FIV/FELV tested, is microchipped and will be spayed on approx 2/9. She'll be available for adoption right after that, just in time for Valentine's day. |
