Teens Send Stuff...

 

"...Dear Chris, I have loved your show for a while and I finally found something good enough to send to you.  My cousin just adopted a cat named Cookie from a shelter.  Cookie had to be spayed and for some reason had to have her arms shaved too.  If you didn't notice, she also has 6 toes on each paw." Katie, 14, California.

rofl. That looks awesome.
Why the hell did they have to shave her front legs though? Spaying happens in the back end...

lulz.

they shave the arms for the IV and bloodwork. plus it gives you something to laugh at later instead of having to look at the painful scar of surgery.

No radiation needed- cats just sometimes end up as polydactyls. My grandma had one.

Actually, that cat was genetically messed up all over. Six toes on each paw, white, one blue eye and one green eye, and the tips of her ears froze off one winter. Every single kitten in every one of her litters was white and a lot of times they had six toes too.

This makes me unnecessarily happy. Kitty's legs look like two tampons with some cotton balls glued on. Me likey.

The cats living at the Ernest Hemingway in Key West also have six toes

6 toed cats are a rare breed (literally)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat , and sometimes sought after. is the cad larger than your average tabby?

That is so wickedly awesome. You need to shave her tail (except for the tip) too so she looks like a poodle on both ends.
