Newest additions at the G Bar M...

**gbarmranch** · 06-11-2007, 06:15 AM

We have a strange neighbor (well, actually a couple of them

), who was hunting for her female cat a few weeks ago - and mentioned that she had some double pawed, or Hemmingway kittens.. I told her I would love to have some to add to our barn cat collection.. Well, last weekend, when we returned from dropping off TJ and Jackie at the breeders, there is this strange person in the driveway, sitting on the hood of her car, the back seat full of kittens... Needless to say, two ended up with us - a male with 7 toes and a female with 6 - so meet Mork and Mindy.. They are so sweet; the only problem I have is they follow me everywhere, and I am afraid the horses will step on them...

Mork - big, brave and into everything:

Mindy - petite, sweet, with extra feet:

They are very cute! Love the names!

**gbarmranch** · 06-11-2007, 06:34 AM

I wondered how many folks will understand the names - that show was on a loooong time ago

nomeanjean · 06-11-2007, 06:38 AM

Very cute! And yes, I will date myself also. Loved that show!

beckyp · 06-11-2007, 06:46 AM

Cute kitties,and yes I remember Mork and Mindy.

I don't think that show was as long ago as you think. I remember it and I'm under 30. Also those look like good mousers but watch out for them in the field, I had a cat scratch a horses leg while I was treating a scrape on his leg and I ended up getting kicked.

tuffsmom · 06-11-2007, 07:02 AM

verycute kittens. What show never would admit to knowing it.

I am so glad that so many of you remember the names - I used to love that show, and these two fit those characters personality wise to a tee...

(And yes, I am old

Nanu-nanu! Love the names!!

Gotta Love Duns · 06-11-2007, 02:03 PM

They are very cute! I have a couple of fish named Mork and Mindy!! Congrats on your new additons!

stoneycreek · 06-11-2007, 02:05 PM

Real cuties for sure! A friend of mine gave me two kittens once with the extra toes and when they have kittens they have the ones with no tails. Maybe you will get some of those little cuties out of yours too.

DoBeSassy · 06-11-2007, 02:18 PM

Is it good to have extra toes? Is there an actual breed that has extra toes? And call me young but what show are you talking about?

**gbarmranch** · 06-11-2007, 02:24 PM

You are young

It was a show with Robin Williams as a goofy comedic alien from outer space... Mindy was the lady who found him and let him live at her place.. Very very funny!!

These cats are not an actual breed - it is in reality a genetic defect - just as bob tails are (they are a mild form of spina bifida, according to my friend, the small animal vet

) - but apparently it is a dominent gene, because they will usually breed a high percentage of double pawed kittens...

Kelly4NC · 06-11-2007, 03:13 PM

Hemingway cats love them I had one named Cherokee but his name was changed to six toes

Speaking of Hemingway Been there:

Thats ONE of the Hemingway cats at his house in Key West

donna · 06-11-2007, 03:48 PM

LOL.........looks like the Mork and Mindy refernce hit a sweet spot with plenty of HT'ers.
Those kittens are adorable.......the black and white splotches always remind me of cows!
Too cute!
