The Cats of Key West

Key West is not only occupied by chickens by the drove but also cats. There is something odd about the cats though. Most of them have 6 toes! These is a genetic abnormality that has been encouraged on an island that not until recently was pretty secluded. The original polydactyly cat was named "Snowball" and he belonged to Ernest Hemingway. Cats are pretty prolific breeders so it didn't take long for them to take over. About 50 of these cats still live at Hemingway's house. They were pretty nice cats too. Just don't try to pick them up. This is the link to the Hemingway museum in Key West. http://www.hemingwayhome.com/. Included are some pictures of the cats of Key West.
