Story

A Wisconsin cat with 29 toes has earned the Guinness World Record for the most toes on a cat.

Erebus Anomaly, a Maine Coon owned by Kendra Vandenbloomer and Hunter Nett, has 11 more toesthan the usual18 found on domestic cats.

Erebus has polydactyly, a genetic trait that causes extra toes and is common in Maine Coons.

The previous record of 28 toes belonged to Jake, a Canadian cat, in 2002.

Vandenbloomer and Nett, who run Blue Northern Maine Coons, said they suspected Erebus might break the record as soon as he was born.•
