Ok, what about cats ? 

I was at my brother in laws house and there was a white momma cat with
7 toes on each foot. Sort of like an extra half foot growing out the inside
of the paw.

She had 3 kittens there, 2 tigerstriped ones and a white one. The
white kitten (only) also had 7 toes on each foot in precisely the same
manner.

Another tragic story of an unwed mother in the inner city.
