Hemingway House (January 18, 2025)


The famous polydactyl cats at the Ernest Hemingway house stroll the grounds, sleep on beds and in the gutters, and even have their own cemetery.


Typical cats have 18 toes: 5 on each front paw and 4 on each back paw. Polydactyl cats have as many as 9 toes per paw. Both Jake, a Canadian polydactyl cat, and Paws, an American polydactyl cat, were recognized by Guinness World Records as having the highest number of toes on a cat, 28.
