People are sharing pics of their pets that have congenital physical anomalies like polydactyly, and if you didn’t already know about it, get ready to have your mind blown.
A friend of mine had a cat with an extra toe. I had no idea it was a common thing until I saw so many similar polydactyl cats. Honestly, I think it’s pretty cool.
