Cat with 29 toes beats world record!
From Love Your Cat on Facebook:
Meet Erebus Anomaly, an extraordinary Wisconsin Maine Coon kitten who just smashed a Guinness World Record with an unbelievable 29 toes!
He officially dethroned the previous record of 28 toes — a title held since 2002 by a Canadian cat named Jake and later joined in 2024 by a Michigan cat named Toby.
This rare genetic trait, known as polydactyly, runs in his bloodline, as his father rocks 24 toes of his own.
But Erebus’s history-making world record actually came out of a terrifying medical scare. As a fragile newborn kitten, he fought severe pneumonia inside a veterinary oxygen incubator. During his care, the clinic took detailed chest X-rays. Not only did Erebus make a miraculous full recovery, but those exact life-saving X-rays provided the definitive medical proof needed to secure his official world title!
His journey from a critical survivor to a record-breaking feline is a heartwarming reminder of how resilient kittens truly are.
