Thumbs-up Cats

Hey! Have you had a bad case of the Mondays? Here some cats for you. They want to cheer you up. They think you are doing great.

On a serious note, all these cats have rare congenital abnormality called polydactyly. It means all they have some extra toes on their paws. However, most of the time this doesn’t hurt or causing any difficulties. Opposable thumb of some polydactyl cats helps them to be more dextrous than normal cats. Just like in humans, it allows cats to handle things with just one paw.
