| SwanycoonTucker P Mac Paws Tucker was our first Maine Coon Cat. He is our polydactyl pet. Tucker has seven toes on each front foot which give him the appearance of having thumbs. He is a gorgeous Cameo McTabby. Tucker comes from Swanycoon Cattery. Our sincere thanks to Annette Swanberg for this fantastic boy. He was just the beginning of our love affair with Maine Coon Cats. |
Polydactyl Cats are born with extra toes, and are often referred to as "Mitten Kittens". Some sources say that 40% of the original foundry cats from this breed were polydactyl. Currently the CFA does not allow polydactyl cats to be shown in their breed category. They can be shown as household pets. I look forward to the day when this is seen as a natural quality that is not faulted and we can show our lovely poly cats with the rest of their breed. Poly's are special cats in our house. Old folklore states that polydactyl cats bring good luck. I believe this to be true. They are the most loving and often times mischievous cats. Their extra toes provide them with a usable thumb that comes in quite handy for grabbing and throwing toys, sometimes stealing household items, and even typing on keyboards. |
