Toesday and the Mystery of my Nickname!

Tama-Chan: Since today is Toesday, #1 thought it was the perfect time for me to tell you what makes me special, and different from my big brother Sen-Chan. Well, firstly, there is the standard stuff, such as the fact that his pawpads are pink and mine are the colour of dark roast coffee beans! But there is something else! You see, there are only three toes on my front right paw! 



As for my left front paw, the toes are a bit strange too. I have one that's atrophied and that has no claw, and another that seems to have an extra articulation:



None of this stops me in any way from running, jumping or climbing, but it does explain why one of my nicknames is..... MIStleTOE!

Tom: This time around, I was ready for Toesday! Look:



Spectacular, eh?!

Sen-Chan: Did somebody say toes?



I rest my case...

  1. Tama-Chan, you look like an Empress. What a commanding expression you wear!

    Tom, we know you are always ready for Toesday, but someday those humans with a camera are not.

  13. I have to agree with my fur brother Sen-Chan that pink paws are far cuter than bark ones! ;) Though little Tama-toes are cute too... :) In fact I bet she'd be very good to snuggle up with for warmth, just like my lovely sister Isis, who of course sends kisses and cuddles to Sen-Chan... :)

    Purrs,

  14. Your unusual toes do make you very special. Beans seem to be obsessed with kitty toes, so I'm sure yours will get a lot of adoration and squees.
