Feline Medical Curiosities

http://www.messybeast.com/freak-cats.htm

Minor mutations of fur type and body shape are often developed into new breeds. There are a growing number of curly-haired and hairless cat breeds; there are tailless, bobtailed and curly-tailed cats and cats with folded or back-swept ears. There are cats with shortened legs or extra toes, cats which resemble rabbits or squirrels, and cats with "wings" of loose skin. All of these can be found at Curious Cats (anomalous big cats can be found at Hybrid and Mutant Big Cats). There is also a whole host of medical curiosities which occur in cats, ranging from minor (extreme cases of extra toes) to lethal (two heads). This article looks at the uncommon medical anomalies which have occurred. My own interest is medical/genetic, though misguided people have sometimes attempted to breed the grosser deformities.
