He's well equipped for the digital age. Of course, if he enters a life of crime, he may avoid the long arm of the law, who will need to be on their toes figuring out how to properly employ a ten-print card on him.

Immediately the U.N. voted to convert all mathematics worldwide to "Base 25".

I think it was the Aztecs or some central american 'cvilization' that used base20 math actually.

I understand this is a desired trait in cats.

My parents had some polydactyl cats once, after the half-wild mommy cat just turned up at our farmhouse one day. She had really weird feet with some tiny double-decker toes. It didn't seem like it bothered her too badly. Some of the kittens just got big feet with a few extra toes, and some were pretty much normal.

That looks like a digital photo.

I can't vouch for the validity of that particular photo, but people with extra toes and/or fingers really do exist. See: Polydactyly.

Well, while the Aztecs were an advanced civilization for their time (accd'g to historians), base 20 isn't as great as indian base 25. /snooty superior attitude

Could be worse.

He could have six legs and two peepees (and be abandonded at a temple -- that's the bad part).

Had a white cat once with one extra inside toe on each paw. The claw on the extra toe would get caught in the carpet when she walked. Had different color eyes also.

Sounds like a factory second! If the kitty ain't loveable maybe you can get a refund.
