Great link! Thanks.

We once had a tortie with 17 toes ... wonder if that was a rarity?

You're welcome. Lots of weird but interesting stuff at messybeast.com. ;)

Don't know about that. Have never had a polydactyl myself. Supposedly polydactyly is somewhat common among Maine Coon cats, but I've never had one of them myself either, just long-haired domestic cats.

Torties are supposed to be fairly rare, but since moving up here to the high desert above Los Angeles, I've definitely seen a higher percentage of them. But I don't know why exactly there might be more of them up here. I already had one when I moved up here, then adopted two more (each from a different rescue organization).
