My own Manny

Someone on Freecycle has a couple of orange tabby double-pawed kittens. They are five weeks old. One of them is a boy.

I'm insane for thinking of taking him, right? With a disaster house and a new baby and three cats - two of whom do not get along - this is a bad idea, right?

ORANGE TABBY DOUBLE-PAWS!!!!!!!

Double paws? Is that like poly dactile (SP?) with extra toes, or is it more complicated than that?

Yes, polydactyl. Also known as "Hemingway cats."

I have been obsessed with orange tabby double-pawed cats ever since I met ladygreyy's Manny about 5 years ago.

Never heard them called 'double-pawed'. Polydactyl I know. Double paws mean 8 to me. :)

Anyway - don't do it. We just got 2 kittens - that means 4 cats and 1 dog. While they kittens are a blast in my home with my older kids - they tear ass around nonstop not considering what's in their path and we ALL have scratches everywhere. Not good for newborns. Wait awhile if you want more.

I know that realistically you're right. Especially because we can't afford the vet care for another pet right now, either.

But they are just SO CUTE!!!

I KNOW!! I love kittens.

And a reality check - my two babies went to the vet last week for a doctor visit, dewormer and Feline Leukemia tests. That cost us $200. We still need 2 more rounds of vaccines [probably $100 each visit] and then they need to be fixed [1 boy, 1 girl] which will run up another $400 or so. And kitten food. And double litter. And....

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Don't worry, there are always more kitties available - even poly's. :)
