      Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).

        No.

        I’m sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I’m weird so…

        Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I’ll ask if it’s a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.

          All good, I was just confused is all.

          I’m not sure if Maine Coons specifically have a genetic predisposition for polydactylism, but I do know that it’s a relatively common trait that’s paired with them because of selective breeding.
