I almost thought this photo was 'doctored', but thanks to my own 'curiosity' I now know about polydactyl cats - and there are variations of the extra digits! There are famous people associated with them (Hemingway, T. Roosevelt). This is the first time I've ever heard of this - thanks for the cute photo and funny caption! PS-Hope you feel better. I also had something similar years ago.
