I've seen weirdly long feet, but this looks like he's wearing giant fuzzy paw slippers. Bonkers. Good on you for adopting him, and choosing the best name lol
I hope he doesn’t grow into those feet.
why did you name him stomp
You don't tiptoe with feets like them.
Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me...
He's obviously a Proudfoot.

That is a lynx.
Call me crazy but I love it. Makes him even more cute!
Hot damn! Those paws are comically big. It's like if a cartoon cat with big feet came to life but kept the disproportionate paws. Awesome!
It's not a pathological defect though? I mean does he have health problems because of his paws?
Polydatctyly (extra toes) is not all that uncommon in cats. As far as I know it doesn't lead to any notable negative outcomes. We had a poly cat (named Poly because that's what the shelter called her) who lived a long and healthy life. Earnest Hemmingway famously kept and bred polydactyl cats at his home in Key West, and if you go visit the staff there still take care of their descendants.
Here's our Poly:
I saw the Polys at Hemingway House, they all look very normal in comparison to Stomp's big feet.
Almost all of them were taking naps in plants and under benches
Just imagine the amount of biscuits Stomp could make. Absolute perfection
I'm proud of y'all for not replying "absolute purrfection"
absolute perrfection
listen here u lil shit
That cat clearly belongs to Jeff Dabe.
I wanna see the boot not too big for the gd feet!
I love stomp
I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.
You know what they say about cats with big peets.
They need big cuddles. I'm glad he's got an accomodating home.
