    No.

    I’m sorry for interjecting such a random reference into the conversation, but it just popped into my head right then. And I’m weird so…

    Edit: my friend has a Maine Coon. I’ll ask if it’s a polydactyl. Interesting that it has that genetic trait.

      All good, I was just confused is all.

      I’m not sure if Maine Coons specifically have a genetic predisposition for polydactylism, but I do know that it’s a relatively common trait that’s paired with them because of selective breeding.
