What's going on with those TOES?! πΎ
We had beautiful Ellwood visit us a few weeks ago at our Dundas St branch for an abdominal scan.
She has a genetic mutation called polydactyly which means she has (more than) a few extra toes.
Ellwood is a special case not only because this condition is rarely seen in our Domestic Short Hair breeds and much more common in Maine C***s but it is also usually reserved for one foot rather than all four! β€οΈ
The condition does not affect Ellwood medically and is just a beautiful quirk that our nurses and vets love to see. π
If you have a moggy with extra toes, please share their picture in the comments so we can count their beans π« when they next visit us π
