Anomalies and genetic deformations in the cats
Polydactyly: This genetic illness, quite rare, consists in having more than four fingers (plus one lateral). In the picture a cat with seven fingers. The cat may lead a normal life. This anomaly is hereditary.
Double canine: As humans cats may have a double canine too! ^^
Anopthalmia: Cats having this rare anomaly doesn't have orbs. Obviously these cats are blind.
Micropthalmia: Cats with this anomaly have one eye bigger than the other.
Ears anomalies: This genetic deformation has originated a new breed: the Scottish Fold.
Kangaroo cats -HYPOPLASIA These cats are named cabbit (Cat-Rabbit), in fact, they have the prior legs more short.
Green cats This anomaly is probably a hoax, I'm not sure. For more information: http://messybeast.com/green-cat/green-genes.htm.
Hypodactily: In this case the cats have less fingers (two, three....)
Branchydactily: It is a
genetic
deformation about the length of the fingers.
Tail deformations: The tail may be deformed too. The short tail is a main characteristic of the Japanase bobtail
Cats with wings The
exact name is CUTANEOUS ASTHENIA, which make the skin very elastic and
flexible.
Fur: Other anomalies have originated some breeds, like, the SPHYNX (in the right picture), and the DEVON REX (in the left picture) , with a curly fur.
