Great Gifts for Pet Lovers!
Is Your Cat Polydactyl?
What IS “Polydactyl?” Simply stated, it means having extra toes. The average cat has five toes on its front paws and four toes on its back paws. Anything more than that makes it polydactyl.
The most famous polydactyl cat may be Princess Six Toes, who was owned by Ernest Hemingway. Because of this, cats with extra toes are sometimes called “Hemingway Cats.” The Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, Florida, is home to about 60 cats, many of whom are descended from Princess Six Toes. About half of them are polydactyl.
According to the Guinness Book Of World Records, the world record for the cat with the most toes goes to Jake, of Bonfield, Ontario, Canada. Jake has a total of 28 toes – seven on each paw. Watch out, mice!

From the January 2006 Issue:
Dear Readers,
It's hard to believe that another year has passed! I hope everyone has had a safe and happy holiday season, and congratulations to those who have added new furry friends to their families. Check out our photo page to see some happy pets with their newly adopted people, courtesy of the Almost Home Animal Rescue League. It sure is wonderful to see a happy ending to these rescue stories! Kudos to Almost Home for all their dedication, hard work, and love for these special animals!
Result from last month's poll:
Last month, we asked FurryFun readers about how they included their pets in their holiday celebrations. Here are the results!
43% give their pets extra treats during the holidays
36% wrap gifts for their pets to open
14% fill a stocking with goodies for each
of their furry buddies
7% have pets who don't celebrate holidays
Sounds like there are a lot of happy animals out there!

To Be Thankful For!
