What do kitty loving jellies think of cats having opposable thumbs?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:That’s such a cute video! My sister had a polydactyl cat – she had 5 extra toes altogether. (I can’t find a picture of her, unfortunately!) When we gave her treats, she’d grab your hand with all her fingers – it was super cute. Personally, though, I’d be afraid if cats grew thumbs – mine get into enough trouble as it is!
