Poetenkatze (2)
Ernest Hemingway had an affinity for many things, his feline companions being
one of them.
The “Hemingway Cat,” or polydactyl, is a feline that, instead
of the normal 18 toes,
has six or more toes on the front feet and sometimes
an extra toe on the rear.
Hemingway had many talents and interests. He was
an extreme cat-lover because
he admired the spirit and independence of the
species. He acquired his first feline
from a ship’s captain in Key West,
Florida, where he made his home for many years.
Today, around 60 felines
live at the Ernest Hemingway Museum and Home in Key West.
They are protected
by the terms left in his will. - N.N.
