This was on my mind as I drove down to Montara near Half Moon Bay last weekend for a My Mutt poster shoot with an 18-year old polydactyl cat named Quixote. For those not in the know about polydactylism it just means Quixote has extra toes. Quixote loves the sun and spends much time in the kitchen where one wall is a huge window. He shares the home with two people, two other cats (including a brand new kitten named Woody) and an elderly dog named Josephine. Quixote, enjoy your sneak peak and keep your eyes open for windmills…

You say polydactyl... I say I can count to 24 without help

Woody, the new kitten, has to be on his toes in this house (pun intended)
