A cat with 9 lives? No: 29 toes. Meet the US feline that broke a world record

A Maine Coon cat named Erebus Anomaly, born in Illinois, United States, entered the Guinness World Records for having 29 toes, the highest number ever recorded in a feline. The unusual characteristic was noticed by breeders at the Blue Northern Maine Coons cattery right after the animal's birth. The name references Greek mythology — Erebus was associated with darkness, possibly referring to the feline's black coat — while "Anomaly" refers to the genetic condition responsible: polydactyly, a genetic variation that causes the development of extra toes.
