Six Digit Cats

The author Ernest Hemmingway in the 1930's had a six-toed cat (Snowball) showing a form of polydactyly and cats with a similar condition today (image) are now called "Hemmingway cats". Normal cats have a total of 18 toes, with five toes on each front paw and four toes on each hind paw.
