Oh, we've fostered a litter of kittens with extra toes. They're called polydactals. (i dunno how to spell it) And Buttons was a sweet cat. He wasn't a lap kitty and didn't like being hugged and squished very much (unfirtunately, no one could resist and we all squeezed him to death each day-no pun intended) but he would let you pet him and snuggle him for a little bit. We pretended that he had a hug meter... every time you hug him, the meter goes down a bit. Once it gets to zero, Buttons would run and hide as he recharged. And, gosh, he was SO FAT. He weighed like, 13 pounds. And in the one and a half year we had him (we didn't have him for long, cri) he only lost one pound. He started out as 14 pounds when we first adopted him. So, it was a struggle to try and pick him up because he weighed as much as a punching bag. My mom could barely lift the kennel he was in to bring him to the vet. Poor guy... at least he isn't suffering anymore.
