They're Maine Coons actually! Brother and sister.

How many toes do they got?

I must know!

I'm not entirely sure. But, one thing is for certain, Salad Fingers likes rusty spoons.

Is there some kind of reference to this that I accidentally made? I was asking an honest question because Maine Coons tend to have extra toes (polydactyl).

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.

Sorry, just 4 at the end of the paw.
