types of cats Polydactyl



Let's be realistic, polydactyl cats give the best high fives. Uh, high sixes. Polydactyls, also known as "mitten cats" or "thumb cats", have a genetic mutation that gives them more than the usual number of toes on one or more feet. Polydactyl cats can have six to eight toes per paw. The extra toes sometimes give the impression that their legs have thumbs. Although polydactyly can occur in many different animals (including humans), it is arguably the sweetest in cats. The writer Ernest Hemingway was convinced that he owned Polydactyls himself, and Ernest Hemingway's house and museum now houses about fifty Polydactyl cats.

If your dog gets hookworms, there is no need to panic, as these usually only cause mild symptoms in adult animals. However, they can cause discomfort and long-term health problems for your dog.

It was originally thought that the first domesticated wolves appeared in the Middle East about 15,000 years ago. However, new evidence suggests that it was much earlier. Swedish geneticist Pontus Skoglund published a study in Current Biology last year, in which he described his discoveries of a 35,000-year-old Siberian wolf bone. He concluded that domestication of dogs may have occurred for the first time between 27,000 and 40,000 years ago.
