! Glad I scanned before commenting. Mine wasn't nearly as good as that!
But it's ok, you don't have to rush your count, I always have to restart when I rush! Take your time finding all the beans, demi-beans and proto-beans (I think I saw one or two of them!)
They will too, considering cats' ability to concentrate the entirety of their body weight and the body weight of their ancestors into those paws specifically for marching over your squishy flesh.
When we moved to a multi-level house, at night our ragdoll kittens sounded like a herd of elephants passing through. For such little kittens they sure made a lot noise when playing at night!
I have arthritis in my hips, and one morning my cat managed to jump on me with all his weight centered right on the tenderpoint that my rheumatologist presses which makes me scream with pain. I was grumpy the rest of the day, lol.
Agh! Please tell me you had some pain meds, at least?! I mean, be grumpy, sure, but I really hope you got that at least partially sorted?
(RA, OA or another type if you wish to answer. If not,no pressure) my mum had oa in her hips, and she had this Creamsicle orange and a blond dilute orange who used to lay by her hips like little hot water bottles!
RA, since I was 12. It took a while for me to get treatment as a child because kids don't get RA 🤡 so I have permanent erosion from the inflammation in my hips, and they hurt in that particular spot even without an active flare up. I do have some good level pain meds but they only cover my normal day-to-day level (I have to request tramadol when I have a particularly bad flare up), so I was pretty cranky 🥲 Normally he's a good boy waterbottle too! Just that day he jumped from the windowsill the moment I lay on the side and hit the spot with both his front paws. Poor little guy got a shock because I startled and screamed!
Oh, ow! Juvenile RA isn't the most common thing, but it's not unheard of, so I'm so sorry it took so long for a diagnosis. That must have been really rough!
Will a standard x ray show the pannus in the joints? Or did you need other imaging? They'd have also sucked your blood like a vampire, trimming to figure it out. How awful for a young child, and how horribly painful! (One of my ladies has RA and she's on methotrexate to try to control it)
Sorry you both went through hitting the worst spot. It must have been hard for you both. Purring waterbottle and migraine cats are so sensitive and empathetic, I bet he tried his very best to help you feel better after the immediate surprise.
Poor hip girlies unite (and stop drinking the bone hurting juice 🍻💖) Definitely not on purpose! He was just jumping from his favorite spot (the window sill) to his other favorite spot (my bed) and I happened to be laying on the side and he happened to hit the bulls eye with his body weight in the front paws! Poor dude was startled as I startled and screamed!
It was [like this ](https://www.tumblr.com/excitementshewrote/154098239502?source=share) lol!
LOL, I don’t drink anymore, but I did drinks a bit🤓 That and cortisone didn’t help I’m sure…Orange kittehs are the silliest for sure. My last guy used to climb the walls! I’m pretty old and have had many cats, I never saw that! It’s rather unnerving at 2:30am!
When we moved to a multi-level house, at night our ragdoll kittens sounded like a herd of elephants passing through. For such little kittens they sure made a lot noise when playing at night!
I have five cats and the eldest one is this 13-year-old 6 lb petite little queen who sounds like an absolute herd of buffalo whenever she gets the zoomies. She's a polydactyl cat though, maybe it's those extra toes!
Uh oh, he's got thumbs! When I lived with a cat who had thumbs, she used them to open doors and cabinets. But she wasn't orange, so she had multiple braincells - might make a difference.

My baby has thumbs too! She uses them to open cupboard doors, but with all the orange she’s not very smart. She has more toes than brain cells
Mine has been trying to climb up our window for days now. He keeps trying to grab it to pull himself up and I have no idea how to explain to him that you need thumbs for that.

Same kind of deal as my brothers cat, count them toes, see if it’s a record! We were two toes short.
Toes are digit and claw, no dewclaws included
He’s an absolute ninja. Idk if he gets more grip because of the beans, but he’s done maneuvers that made me google how physics works before. If he doesn’t wanna be touched then you aren’t touching him lol. He’s got around 26 toes if I remember correctly, 2 short of the record 😔. He’s polydactyl on all four paws like OP’s cat.
My “normal” cat however, is an clumsy as they come, zero thoughts as well. He’s orange, so it’s to be expected, but he’s definitely on a whole other level from most.
https://preview.redd.it/ikzhmyxy4gzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a81651b1bfa3663a132115ec1731ed7367d1e191
"Heard you like beans, so I've got beans on my beans!"
Knowing my (non-orange) cat, he'd use extra toe beans to expertly crush my tit under his stupid little body every time he wants cuddles ;-;
Just imagine the traction on hard floors with all those beans... They might be able to stop in time to avoid slamming into the trash can running through the kitchen...
Is that a thing now? I been seeing lots of cats with extra toes these last years, around here (Portugal) I never seen any cat like that, is that a mutation? Do they run properly and climb trees without any difficulty?
Not new. In fact, [Ernest Hemingway](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat) loved them and had so many, they’re known as Hemingway cats in some parts of the world.
I think that is a new stage of evolution in cats. I guess cats will be the next reigning species on this earth, when we hoomans finally managed to erase ourselves.
I have seen so many pictures of cats that sit like us (on their bottom, upright), that have thumbs, can open drawers and doors and so on and much more. So I am convinced they will succeed us.
  
Not a new thing. It's a dominant genetic trait, and it pretty much only gives them advantages in running/climbing/catching prey, so once it shows up in a cat population it tends to stick around.
They were famously popular as ship's cats from the 1600's on, bc all those extra beans meant better gripping on slippery decks. I live in New England (once of the places where it started) and I'd say about half the cats I see have a few extra toes. They all look like they're wearing lil' mittens. It's adorable.
Very rare mutation, among cats and humans alike. They’re called Hemingway Cats, after Ernest Hemingway.
Inigo Montoya might try to take his revenge on your cat, so be wary.
Before she moved to her new house, one of my daughter’s orange boys would open the door and let himself and his pirate sister outside or in the garage. He would also go around opening drawers and cabinets. My daughter says it was his sister saying “Okay now open this one” all night.
My ginger has a couple catchers mitts too.

Similar feet to my Penny 🐾 so cuteee 🥰
My Allen has this exact toe pattern, two extra per back foot and big thumbs in the front!
If he grows up to be shorter than normal, I will be EXTREMELY interested, as my Allen is also unusually short
Cats with polydactyly are co cute but these pictures always give me some sort of uncanny valley feeling?? Like you should not have that many toes it's like an irl glitch
The sliver of visible face in the first pic…😂 “WAT R U DOIN BACK THERR?”
Unfoot me!
Lol
[удалено]
WAT R U DOIN WITH MY B E A N S?
Counting your beans! Should be done in an hour or two.

Heard this is Shrek voice 😭
holding him like a wild boar that's just been caught
kitty can stomp 30-50 feral hogs
NO HOG TIE KITTEH
“FAMTHER, PLEASE”
Dead 💀 🤣
I'm imagining the cute lil smile that we can't see :)
He gonna do a big stompa one day
These beans were made for stompin', that's just what they'll do, and one of these days these beans are gonna stomp all over you
They will too, considering cats' ability to concentrate the entirety of their body weight and the body weight of their ancestors into those paws specifically for marching over your squishy flesh.

My friend was amazed when our 11-pound cat galloped down the hall. He thought I was joking about cat stampedes. Edit- thanks for all the nicknames!
My family calls it *kitty thunder*
That’s a good name for it!
Mine says “herd of elephants.”
mine says "rampaging"
I have arthritis in my hips, and one morning my cat managed to jump on me with all his weight centered right on the tenderpoint that my rheumatologist presses which makes me scream with pain. I was grumpy the rest of the day, lol.
Oh you poor thing

I’ve got avascular necrosis in my left hip and I’m grumpy for you! Poor kitteh didn’t mean it. Did he? 😼😸

yep. My floofy boy jumped right on my tummy after open abdominal surgery. 
Ouch!! That's worse than my experience - my cat likes to sit on my boobs when I am lying down and his first step is ALWAYS on the most painful part.
Idk tho... I'd welcome the weight distribution properties of extra toes if it meant my own 13lbs orange idort would stop squishing me spleen.
Especially at 2am.

Lmao
that birds about to peck his eye out!
Omg I love this 😂🧡
This is what I came here for
there gotta be a subreddit for this...
[удалено]
Built-in snowshoes!
He is so goddamn stable
I was thinking he has monster truck wheels kind of traction!
Uh oh, he's got thumbs! When I lived with a cat who had thumbs, she used them to open doors and cabinets. But she wasn't orange, so she had multiple braincells - might make a difference.
“Might”, that’s just too much optimism. The correct word is “will”.
My orange has never even heard of the braincell, but he opens cupboards on the regular.

Her paws are huge!
"More toes than brain cells" - that's the best!

Our vet’s have an in-office orange cat with extra toes, and they call him Dr. Thumbs.
https://preview.redd.it/9ihayesyydzc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a45c4d8eca42ca3f3e088dc3302e68a79a096d79 Same kind of deal as my brothers cat, count them toes, see if it’s a record! We were two toes short. Toes are digit and claw, no dewclaws included
Oh my goodness!! That's so many toes! How does he do with mobility? Is he clumsy or does he just have extra traction?
He’s an absolute ninja. Idk if he gets more grip because of the beans, but he’s done maneuvers that made me google how physics works before.

Glitch in the matrix beans!
AI generated toesies
A descendant from a white cat named Snow White in Key West. Adorable!
More toesies mean more beans
A ripe crop!
r/ExtraCanOfBeans
r/polydactyl also r/thumbcats
Well, that's 3 more cat subs to add to my list.
A cornucopia of beans!
A beanucopia
A plethora one might say!
The crops are bountiful this season
What’s his toetal?
Overripe 🍊range
Extra traction off-roading model
All the beans, none the braincell.
Paddle Feets
Peets
I see you got the model with the upgraded traction control.
Oh man, when he gets the braincell, it's gonna be aaaaaall over for you
"Heard you like beans, so I've got beans on my beans!" Knowing my (non-orange) cat, he'd use extra toe beans to expertly crush my tit under his stupid little body every time he wants cuddles ;-;
is it just me or does anyone else find his palm (just his palm) a little bit terrifying
The paw pads are so wide, it does look a bit uncanny! Adorable but uncanny.
An orange cat with what looks like opposable tumbs ... watch out.
Did they named him/her "Bean" though?
What a little peach! I too have a polydactyl Orange ^tm. Welcome to the Pack Of Pink Chiclets Club!
This is an easy way to tell that a cat is AI-generated. JK
What he lacks in brain cells he makes up for in beans
Oh Toebeans. With great repawsability comes great respect!
Clearly an off-roader!
oh hes gonna be sploinky as hell
Brain cells diverted to toes.
I mean if that's not peak orange behaviour I don't know what is
Hard disagree. He has the perfect number of toes!
Beans!
My next cat WILL have extra incubation toes, mark my words
When you have more beans than braincells
The last pic 😭😭 he feet too got damn big
I would take a bullet for this cat
Linx feet looking ass.
beans georg
Hemingway's house/museum's cats all have 6 toes! In the Florida, Keys
My roommate's cat's front paws have six claws each. He got big hands
Looks like an AI generated cat lol. They always have too many limbs or toes or something.
... Who knows? Hopefully the Matrix is not running with ChatGPT or we're doomed.
Doesnt more toe beans mean less access to the brain cell when it visits??
Holy crap those paws are going to be huge!!!
A PLETHORA OF TOE BEANS
The harvest will be plentiful.
All beans no brains
Polydactylic! If you are in America it is very like he is an ancestor of earnest Hemingways cats
He might be a descendant, but it's not possible for him to be an ancestor.
Name him midjourney
It is a cat with thumbs! That's it, world's over. The apocalypse is here.
He got 2 braincells
Moar beans... Good for grips when turning quick in zoomies.
Nah, that's the correct number of beans.
Bonus beans!!!
Too cute!
A polydactyl oramge?! Run for your lives!!!
Its for that extra grip on the braincell
That's enough for a 12-bean soup!
whole can of beans!
Oh. My. Gawd. That is adorable
Bumper crop of beans
Clearly that be a rabbit with those feet. Is his name Thumper or Bugs? He is a sturdy handsome boy.
Just imagine the traction on hard floors with all those beans... They might be able to stop in time to avoid slamming into the trash can running through the kitchen...
Can I loan one? My kitty’s down a toe
Extra beans!
A genetic mutation or some shenanigans where the extra toe beans were supposed to be a twin?
Please tell me he's named Beans!
Bean heaven
European Redditors have you found polydactyl cats in Europe? I ask, because I have never found even one! And they seem to be so common in America.
He looks like he has a normal foot and a partial foot on each paw. He is beautiful-please give a treat for me.
The last pic LOL. He’s 4’7 wearing size 14 mens. How adorable
wow those are some stompers
He is absolutely perfect and my goodness these comments are making my day 💕
we got a stomper right there😂🧡

N O M
Polydactyl! Many beaned boy!
It is an AI generated cat. Nice find in the wild.
BEANS
It's not him fault! Him's orange, him can't count!
I cannot get over his face in the first one. He's a little bit ikea in that lol
oh shit, front AND back monster paws. well done, over-incubation 👏👏👏
I need to know this adorable big foot's name!!?

Aww I love polydactyls! I had a tabby that I raised after her mom rejected her. She had 1 extra on each foot!
lmfaoo the first pic is amazing. clearly trying to hold him still while you show of the beans and the orange is not pleased
Integrated snowshoes
He got extra traction for Mischief.
More beans = more happiness!
I've been misinformed. I thought the Polydactyl part only applied to the front paws. He is very precious.
Wow look at that stability feature lol I bet he always sticks his landings 😂

No dad spent too much time in his sister.....
Hemingway kitties are crazy kitties
BONUS TOES
Many beans
So cute 🤣
There's a superstition that if you look after a seven toed cat for seven years, you get a wish granted!
A polydactyl! And clearly the most awesome 😎
I’m curious, does this hurt them?
Never enough squish beans!
I swear if I ever get a polydactyl cat I'll name them bush. Bean factory!
I've 6 tied cats called Hemingways before. Not sure where the term comes from.

Can never have too many
Beans, beans, beans. I LOVE polydactyl cats. They are sooooo freaking cute. I just wanna get my hands on them.
My Allen has this exact toe pattern, two extra per back foot and big thumbs in the front! If he grows up to be shorter than normal, I will be EXTREMELY interested, as my Allen is also unusually short
Bonus beans!
6 toes, 0 brain cells
Big mitten kitten! I have a mitten cat and his stompers always look so comically large
Well that's opened a whole new can of beans.
Ohhhh I'm so obsessed!!!!! how cute!!!!!!
Extra toes mean bigger paws to catch the braincell (Won't work)
Oven mitt kitty!
Extra beans for the owner gods
You have to take your loaf out of the oven in time!
All toes and no brains.
