Nine lives, 26 toes

The owner of a cat with 26 toes is trying to find out if her pet is a record breaker.

Most cats have just 18 toes, five on each front paw and four on each hind paw, Des has a total of 26, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Alison Thomas, of Felindre, near Swansea, said her pet has seven toes on each front paw and six on each back paw.
"We've had him for about 10 years, he just turned up on the doorstep and my husband made the fatal error of giving him a bowl of milk so he stayed," she said.

"He was only about six months old at the time and was quite small, so his paws looked enormous.

"I originally wondered if he needed them chopped off, but the vet said he was fine."

The world record holder for toes is an Ontario-based cat, Jake, whose 28 digits were officially recorded in 2002.

But Mrs Thomas is keen to discover whether Des is a Welsh or UK record holder.

Imagine that sharpening its claws on your furniture
