Information & Articles relating to the Maine Coon Polydactyl Cat

Please take the time to read our informative articles all about the Polydactyl Maine Coons.

If you have any questions on feline polydactyly or need further clarification then please feel free to contact us and we will do our best to help. We have now included individual page url's for you to copy and link to directly.

There are many reports on the internet that 40% of the original maine coons were polydactyls.  There is no substance to this although it is felt that perhaps 40% of the total cat population in Maine was at one time polydactyl.  Whilst we do not think anybody has set out to deliberately deceive there is a clear semantic difference between the two statements.  There is no evidence to suggest the former but if anyone can find it we would love to hear from you.
