Well, I made some more of Debra’s energy balls and thought, as the old saying goes, “if a little is good, then a lot is better.” Not true! Not true at all

I was curious and looked at other pictures of squirrels and they don't have the double paw thing going on. You might have a genetic mutant there. A polydactyl squirrel. Unless there is a Florida variety of squirrel with these double toes?
I have seen double paw cats before - it is a genetic anomaly. Via Wikipedia: "A polydactyl cat is a cat with a congenital physical anomaly called polydactyly (or polydactylism, also known as hyperdactyly), that causes the cat to be born with more than the usual number of toes on one or more of its paws. Cats with this genetically inherited trait are most commonly found along the East Coast of North America (in the United States and Canada) and in South West England and Wales."
My granddaughter has a polydactyl cat, so I know what those are. I thought the squirrel might be a mutant, too. I didn't see this on any of the other squirrels, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for it now. Thanks for all the info!
