Lots of piggies




Ernest Hemingway was a cat lover. He was especially fond of polydactyl cats, their genetic mutation exhibits in having more than the usual number of digits on their paws. One of Hemingway's homes, located in Key West, Florida, is now a museum. Nearly 50 cats live on the property, all are descendants of Hemingway's cats, approximately half are polydactyls.
