Stomp: “I’ll have a rum . . . . And coke.”
Bartender: “why the pause?”
Stomp: “Dunno, I’ve always had them.”
big pause or it doesn’t make sense
Massive paws would also work if you really exaggerate it. 😉
Genius
Call me crazy but I love it. Makes him even more cute!
It’s not a pathological defect though? I mean does he have health problems because of his paws?
Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn’t lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that’s what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.
Here’s our Poly:
I saw the Polys at Hemingway House, they all look very normal in comparison to Stomp’s big feet.
Almost all of them were taking naps in plants and under benches
AI stomp
If this is actually your cat, you might get him checked for acromegaly.
Not my kitty, but good to know!
Fun fact: Ernest Hemingway used to collect polydactyl cats and now, because of him, there is a abnormally sizable population of polydactyl cats on Key West, FL.
Ive been to the Hemingway house 20 or so times now (every year I visit) and it’s great. Now i just go to sit there and pet cats. I don’t even care about Hemingway.
If you are not having a very large stiff drink while you are petting them, you may be doing it wrong!
That’s rad! I want to go there some day exclusively for the cats
Not terribly rad… He was an epic alcoholic
Nonono, I meant to comment on the comment above you. My bad.
I can honestly take or leave Hemingway. I was never particularly a fan of his writing style.
Looks like polydactyly to me, which is not uncommon in cats.
You know what they say about cats with big peets.
They need big cuddles. I’m glad he’s got an accomodating home.
That is a lynx.
why did you name him stomp
You don’t tiptoe with feets like them.
Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me…
He’s obviously a Proudfoot.
Proudfeet
I love him
I’d adopt this freak show in a second and give him the best home
Hot damn! Those paws are comically big. It’s like if a cartoon cat with big feet came to life but kept the disproportionate paws. Awesome!
Ground pounders up and around.
I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.
are we sure this is a cat and not a young lynx?
It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.
Those are very rare. In fact, I’m pretty sure there can be only one.
What? It’s been a crossbreed since like 2004? Unless I’m getting whooshed?
“there can be only one” is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where “immortals” (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to “the gathering” and slay each other until the last one receives “the gift”.
The series is named “Highlander” because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called “the highlander” by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).
Outside of the series, “highlander” variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.
Just go to Zeist. There’s plenty there.
seems plausible
At least it’s not a young mountain lion…
Just imagine the amount of biscuits Stomp could make. Absolute perfection
I’m proud of y’all for not replying “absolute purrfection”
absolute perrfection
listen here u lil shit
