Old buddy of mine used to have a cat with one very pronounced extra claw on each front paw. He named the cat “Hitch Hike”

Im trying to figure out if Ive seen the same thing around here but Im not sure what youre saying. Ive seen cats with 5 regular fingers instead of 4 and the thumb is bifurcated into two separate thumbs at the mid joint. Same thing or is this a different configuration?

Sounds like what I have seen. They almost look normal at a glance, except unusually big paws on a cat.
