Biscuit the 26 Toed Kitten

in story •  7 years ago  (edited)

Two toes shy of the Guinness Record, abused kitten Biscuit came into our lives a tiny three week old ball of cuddling fluff. Skinny, but with huge feet, as an adult now she can jump six feet up.

Biscuit enjoys biscuits and muffins, taking long walks on thin pipes, and using her six opposable thumbs to open latches and sneak treats to the other rescues. Her current project is figuring out how to operate the window latch.

Poltdactyl cats are also known as Hemingway cats. Author Ernest Hemingway fell in love with them, and his estate has been a dedicated home for the extra toed wonders. There are currently about 50 being treated like royalty at the Hemingway House.

Most Polydactyl cats don't mind and even enjoy water. This is believed by many to be because early immigrants to America brought these felines on the ships to eradicate rats, choosing the extra toed kind because of the extra balance their larger feet offer on deck in stormy seas.

Cats normally have 18 toes, five on front and six on back paws. Biscuit has eight digits on each front (three thumbs each) and six each on her back.

Biscuit is the inspiration for an episodic series centering around a kitten who is discarded onto the streets and the adventures and hardships she must endure.

She also enjoys "helping" me write.

welcome dear friend

Biscuit can also tear you to ribbons quicker than the average cat! She's very cute.

Oh yes she can, and she is fiercely protective of "her" house and her boy, my son Nik!

Thank you <3

CATS is LOVE. upped! followed! :)

YES! Pawprints on hearts and all that ;)

What a pretty kitty, especially her(?) eyes...I've never seen a cat with so many toes :3

Yes, Biscuit is a girl. I know! I have developed a cat toe fetish since meeting her!

She is too cute.

She is a little doll :) And best part is she does not know it- her status has not gotten to her head ;)

Thank you

Happy to hear that's everything is turning out well with "Biscuit" , @arbitrarykitten

She is quickly becoming the advocate for the abused pets. When she first got her own social media accounts, she obtained more followers in one day than I had accrued in a year!

Oh wow! Quite the popular one, from what it sounds like! :)

I was surely surprised!

Amazing kitty!

Thank you <3

@purepinay Check out biscuit, the cat... And follow @arbitrarykitten

Lol@ "Biscuit enjoys biscuits and muffins, taking long walks on thin pipes, and using her six opposable thumbs to open latches and sneak treats to the other rescues."

Sounds like a dating profile :P I actually never counted my cats toes... Next time they jump on my lap, I will do just that.

Respect for rescuing Biscuit... I should have done that, instead of buying from a breeder.

omg! don't make me cry pls! I followed her..

Hi @arbitrarykitten!

That's really nice of you to rescue Biscuit. She's so cute! **I almost wanted to cry!!!

I've never seen any kitten with 26 toes! how adorable =D

Next time we get another kitten we'll just rescue one.. I never though of this before.

thank you again, you have a really good heart

<3

It was supposed to sound like a dating profile ;)

Thank you so much :)

And check out Steemhouse Fiction with the @SFT My first three published chapters of the Strays will be up on it soon. All proceeds from the Strays will be going to abused and stray pet rescue.

I will do that now. I appreciate what you do!

I wont forget Biscuit, When I grow, I'd like to delegate some SP to help her, and all her friends :) (Remind me!)

_Rob

Oh my goodness. I don't even know what to say. That's so awesome of you :)

Blessings and hugs to you, my friend. And kitten headbutts -the equivalent of a hug from your feline friends ;)

I love when my cat sits behind my head, on my La-Z-Boy, and headbutts me while I play my PS4.

Awe! We have a pair of special needs siblings we raised from three days old who ended up becoming a part of the family. The boy, Bob Marley cuz he's so chill, decides once or twice a day to become "BabyMan". No matter what I am doing he climbs atop me and plops on his back into the crook of my arm, and just purrs and purrs! His sister, Gizmo, has a hormonal imbalance so does not do much all day, but when she wants the lovin's she is my headbutter :) And she wont stop until SHE'S had enough lol
