Check out this kitteh with "hands" over at the Tacoma, WA Humane Society.
She's sporting a pair of thumbs! (And obviously has plans to bring the kitteh species forward with her marvelous mutation...)
Here she is showing off by drawing a Turkey (see beak and hat)
For more prosh pics and more details on Willamena, check out the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee!
Sender-Inner Laurie C. says she's seen "a lot of extra toes" but never hands!

» Itty Bitty Kitty Committee from GetSheila
Did I mention I discovered the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee via CuteOverload? It is a blog by someone in the Seattle/Tacoma area who fosters kitties before they are adopted. Every day they post new pictures of itty bitty kitties. Tiny [Read More]

Is it just polydactyl, or is there sumtings else going on here?
Love the turkey! Gwobble-gwobble!
BLEEN
Please, Lord, do not let this kitteh team up with the skwerlz nad otterz!!!! They do NOT need such a strong Ally!
I freakin' LOVE the turkey!!!
Frick! A delay!!! No bleen for me - again. Just once..le'me!
Anyway...c-u-t-e!
Awwww! Baby kitty "hand" turkey..
Now that's just too sweet! :)
OMG! Daaaarling! I'm speechless.
*dies from an overload of cute*
Another thumb kitteh!! We have one with the opposables, too! He gets in so much mischief now that he has learned to pick things up using his "hands"!
Our thumb kitty playing pool and napping!

Harper...he could hitch-hike with those! Super cute!
the animal c-o-n-spericy thickens in its eeevilness
"One day I will master doorknobs... and the world will be MINE!! MINE!!!! Bwahahahahaha!!! (*paws* - er, I mean *pause*) BWAHAHAHAHA!!!"
We better all start putting those knobs a little higher up!
Kind of makes you wonder... What if they slowly develop more hominid features?
On a basic level, evolution states that living things evolve into whatever they need to in order to make life easier.
Maybe kittens need hands now? They don't really have to hunt for food anymore, so they don't need the speed and agility that comes with four legs. Could kitties one day end up walking upright like the rest of us? Could they develop speech? I've heard kitties that sound like they're talking before...
I love that she doesn't even wake up for the turkey picture. Can a bowl of warm water be far behind?
I'm havink a thought hea!
A polydactyl kitty making a turkey is perfect!
Anyone? Anyone?
Because, in the U.S. there are more polydactyls on the east coast. In England there are more on the southwest coast. The polydactyl kitters came to America from the southwest of England.
Plymouth, England. Plymouth, Massachussetts. Mayflower. Pilgrims.
Turkey!
I want to schnorgle the pawses!
Holy cow, Harper. Your cat could hold a hammer with those paws! Or a sword. I'd sleep with one eye open, I think. :)
And I'm impressed with the turkey. My thumbs are fully opposable, and I can't even draw that well.
OMG
Wups, according to Wikipedia, polydactyl cats originated in Boston. Oh well. That takes the stuffing out don't it.
I, for one, welcome our cutey-wutey soft, cuddly kitty overlords.
Adorable! I agree polys are probably a positive evolutionary step. And we all know cats wish to RULE THE WORLD!! =)
I'm imagining anthropomorphic kittehs walking and talking like humans. Well, a girl can dream.
Wow. I've always said the if MY kittles had opposable thumbs, that would be the end of whatever rule or authority I have in the house, lol!
yowsers, Harper!!! r those kitty hands real??
Eeee! I have a thumb-cat too! Her paws are much more tufted with fur, though (part Maine Coon, I believe). Now, my boyfriend doesn't want anything but a cat with thumbs.
Artty Kitty!!
:)

So far he only picks up his toys and drinking straws (best toy ever!) Max does have a habit of sitting on my chest when I am asleep and patting at me with one paw though...
If I tried to get my cats to do that, they'd claw holes in the paper and then chew it up to bits.
:( But that is so unbelievably cuuute!
she all thumbs! ^^
i wub her
AWwwwwwwww!
Such a kayoot kitteh! I shall steal you.
I am trying to change my diet and have decided that whenever I have a craving for something sweet, I'll just click on my CO shortcut and get my fix of oh so delectibul kitty toes, bunny ears and duckie down. Yummmmmmeeeee!!!!
I think this is called a polydactyl cat or a Hemmingway Cat. Sweet kitty.
And yes, those are totally Max's real hands :) I have tons of pics of him (not obsessed at all, really!)
This reminds me of an interactive joke I used to annoy, I mean, amuse people with.
Draw a chicken (just a sort of side view chicken form, with beak, tail feathers, stick feet, and a wing).
Approach someone and say "I have a visual test I'd like you to help me with. As I point to each part of the chicken, I want you to say the word for that part three times."
(use a pencil to point)
Point to beak. Person hesitantly, but obediently says "beak beak beak." You say "good," or some other encouraging comment.
Now, point to tail or feets. Person, looking increasingly embarassed, says "tail tail tail," or "feets feets feets." You say "right," or "good job," or something reinforcing.
Now, point to wing. Person says "wing wing wing."
You say "Heywwoh?"
I hope that somebody in need of a thumbed kitteh sees this and adopts her (or him).
Haaaaaaaa! The turkey. THE TURKEY! Funniest ever.
oh dear. cuteoverload is far too cute today . . . far, far, far too cute.
gah!!! tidgie hand/paw!!!!
Oh, sweet merciful God!
The turkey! Stop!!!
That may be the most adorable thing I've ever seen :)
I love the thumbs! I bet kitteh grows up to walk on his hind pawses, too. I
I'm envisioning him uncurling after a nap on the couch, walking over to the pantry, grabbing a can of Friskies,a box of crackers and a knife, opening the can and spreading some delicious seafood "pate" on the crackers. Of course, then, he'll say, in an Orson Welles kind of voice, "I think a nice, dry Chardonnay would be lovely with this...."
I was doing ok until the turkey photo. Then my brain exploded.
WARNING. Do not click on the link to the Itty Bitty Kitty Committee. I repeat - DO NOT CLICK.
You have been warned...
Aw. The itty bitty kitty is doing turkey draw-rings!
Very very witty.
What a little doll! She might just start a trend:
Kitten Mittens, with an extra thumbpiece for those kitties who like to throw snowballs!
A Polydactyl! My favorite! :)
Awwww... looks just like my kitten. Except my kitten doesn't have such wee adorable thumbs. <3
Harper I'm sorry but those thumbs kind of skeer me
BUT the turkey picture is just too much for me - awfulhorribleoverload.com here I come.
Oh. My. God.
Is this a portent of things to come? First they'll be mastering doorknobs and can openers. Then they'll be knitting their own mittens and playing the guitar. Let's face it, the human race will soon be redundant...
OMG! The turkey drawing put me right over the cuteness limit!
I used to have a solid black kitty that was polydactyl. His front feet looked like wittle boxing gloves.
Tanks fer teh cayuteness!
I had two kitties with thumbs when I was a teenager.
and Harper - my Bubbsy thought straws were the best cat toy too. (He wasn't a thumb kittie.) He would carry it back to us to throw and if we weren't interested, he'd toss it under a chair and "surprise" the straw.
Willamena for President!!
I would vote for her.
