needs custom-made mittens. This is a cat from the Do Duck Inn Petting Farm in PEI. It has extra toes on each adorable little paw. Perhaps this is a NextGen cat that is paving the way for kitties with opposable thumbs. Bizarre feet aside or included, this is one cute kitten.

The Mystery of the Broken Whiskers
I have no idea what Corelli does while I'm at work. There are at least eight or ten hours of any given day left to mischief. Apparently she is doing something either violent, stupid or crammed into a tiny, whisker-breakingly confined area. How do I know this? If the use of "whisker-breakingly" as an adverb didn't tip you off, I know this because her whiskers are broken. Moron. Observe:
At first I noticed that her lovely white whisker - the lightning rod of all her kitty stress, perhaps? - was broken. Then I really focused on her cute little cheek and noticed they were all broken. Strange. I called my sister, The Vet, and made sure there wasn't some kind of whisker sickness that cats can be struck down with. There is not. At least not one that breaks whiskers. (They fall out. And the medical term would not be "whisker sickness.") Apparently she got herself into some kind of face-mushing, whisker-bending situation that she could not recover from gracefully. think I need a nanny-cam.
