Polydactyl cats possess a unique and endearing quality that cat enthusiasts find irresistibly charming. It’s hard to resist their extra toes, which makes them all the more adorable. For instance, there’s Yeti, an orange tabby with curly ears and a surplus of toes. While he was born in April 2021, his breed is known for its size, which means he still has some growing left to do. Feline lovers adore these gentle giants for their curly ears, short tails, and affectionate personalities. With these impressive traits combined with his extra toes, Yeti is sure to capture the hearts of all cat admirers.
How did Yeti come to be called by his moniker? His name was inspired by the legend of the abominable snowman – a mythical creature that resembles Bigfoot and is known for its massive, white, and shaggy appearance. What is the nature of Yeti’s disposition? Despite his fearsome-sounding name, he is amiable and enjoys being cuddled. He has an intelligent mind and possesses a mischievous streak. Does Yeti have any other animal companions living with him in his abode? Of course! Sharing his home are an older tabby cat named Mac and a crested gecko called Sniper, whom he gets a kick out of watching in her enclosure.
What sets Yeti the cat apart from others? To begin with, he belongs to the Highland Lynx breed and possesses 23 toes, which makes him a polydactyl cat. Moreover, his ears have a unique curling shape, and his tail is just a small nub. Despite his weight of over 20 pounds, Yeti’s cuteness is undeniable. I am grateful to Kelly, Yeti’s owner, for allowing me to share his photos and story with Cattitude Daily readers.

What are his favorite things to do when he’s not busy? He loves playing with his toys, running around the house, watching birds and squirrels outside, and taking a nice nap after a long day. Keep reading to find out more.
