Normal cats have four toes and one dewclaw (thumb) on each front paw and four toes on each hind paw. Polydactyl cats may have as many as seven digits on front and/or hind paws, and various combinations of anywhere from four to seven are common, although each of the front and rear paws are typically the same. Polydactyly is most commonly found on the front paws only, with polydactyly of all four paws being less common. It is rare for a cat to have polydactyl hind paws only. We have a brother and sister Polydactyl Cats.....anyone else?   |

No it doesnt always breed on and this was an accident!! LOL
It will only 100% breed on if both parents are Poly's, only mum is a Poly. These are a breed in their own right in Europe and the States.
