Photo Proof That Cats Actually Are the Ones That Rule the World

The Cat With Human Like Thumbs

Although we often associate thumbs with humans, this adorable kitten proves that isn’t always the case. Believe it or not, cats can also have thumbs! Some kittens are born with a unique condition called Mitten Paws, which gives them the appearance of having human-like thumbs. Most people find this trait incredibly cute—so much so that you might even want to knit a tiny pair of mittens for them. How fitting is the name Oliver for a cat with thumbs? It’s absolutely perfect and adds to the charm

Mitten Paws, also known as polydactyly, is a genetic mutation that results in extra toes, often resembling thumbs. While it’s rare, it’s more common in certain regions, like the northeastern United States. Cats with this condition are often celebrated for their uniqueness and even have a historical connection to sailors, who believed they brought good luck. Isn’t it fascinating how nature can create such delightful surprises? Oliver’s thumbs not only make him stand out but also add a playful twist to his personality, making him even more endearing.
