The Velveteen Ocelot
(115,793 posts)4. I've seen mine do that occasionally. It's cute
but kind of disturbing.
Now if they could just evolve the ability to not vomit in people's shoes.
Like one of mine did yesterday.

Look up polydactylism. They already evolved, for a large part, in New England, but you can find them many places now.

on their front feet just like thumbs. They can pick stuff up with their paws.

As long as they have cauliflower hands, I remain wary but not fearful.
