So you say you need more signs that you are a cRaZy cat person?! Well, here you are! Cat-lover Ernest Hemingway is credited with saying, “One cat just leads to another.” And he should know! Nearly 60 polydactyl (six-toed) cats live at The Ernest Hemingway Home and Museum in Key West, FL. Hemingway was given a white six-toed cat by a ship’s captain and some of the cats who live on the museum grounds are descendants of that original cat, named Snow White.

About half of the cats at the museum have the physical polydactyl trait but they all carry the polydactyl gene in their DNA, which means the ones that have 4 and 5 toes can still mother or father six-toed kittens. Most polydactyl cats have extra toes on their front feet, but sometimes on their back feet, as well. Sometimes it looks as if they are wearing mittens because they appear to have a thumb on their paw.

Hemingway named all of his cats after famous people, and the museum follows that same tradition today.

The fabric sign with the Hemingway quote features 9 cats of various sizes and colors in different poses with the quote below them. This sign has a single sawtooth hook on the back for easy hanging.

“If you don’t talk to your cat about catnip, who will?” And then what would happen? As with a similar “green plant”, as long as the imbibing kitties are in their own homes, all should be well!😸 This sign is plastic and fitted with a hanging cord.

“My cat can lick your cat” can either be a warning or an invitation, depending on the interpretation. This metal sign has a hole on each corner for secure hanging, even outside.

The estimated value of this set of three cat signs is $40.
