Emily's PAWS

My 11-year old cat Emily, who really enjoys flobbing in sphinx-like poses. While this is not the best photo to show it, she is polydactyl -- she has an extra toe on each front paw that is shaped like a thumb. I have seen her using them AS opposable thumbs -- getting something like a string or a stick into that space between the thumb and the rest of her paw, and then curling her other toes over to keep it in place.
