Cats are definitely trying for opposable thumbs, aren't they!  :evillaugh:

Bet you knew this would attract me in show off mode :) 

I'll have you all know that, whilst Ruby only has a mere extra two toesies on each front paw that replace her dew claw, she also has dew claws on her back feet  :wow:  They are the ones we have to keep an eye on in case they grown into her pads as she obviously doesn't use them much.

I beg to differ on the comment that extra toes doesn't help them climb.  It's extremely difficult trying to dislodge Ruby's grip when she is on the cat tree.  It's as of she is glued to it  :)  On the other hand, whilst she also could hold a ball when she was little she hasn't done that for a very long time.

What beautiful little darling babies they is with all their lovely tootsies  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
