This is a radiograph of one of M'aggie's back feet. Both feet look exactly
the same. First I'm sure you'll notice that M'aggie's back feet are
declawed (she was declawed when I adopted her) so you don't see any claws.
That certainly is interesting enough to see, but what makes her unique is that
she has five toes on both back feet. In fact if you look closely, you'll
see that the first toe is fully formed and has a tiny claw on the end.
Most cats only have four toes on their back feet, and to have anatomy like this
is very, very rare in a cat. When you feel her little legs, you can
actually feel each segment of the digit.Click on the picture to enlarge it and take a
