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
why did you name him stomp
Definitely looks more like a Pippin to me...
He's obviously a Proudfoot.

You don't tiptoe with feets like them.
That is a lynx.
I hope he doesn’t grow into those feet.
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!
Call me crazy but I love it. Makes him even more cute!
I'm gonna need another photo before I believe this is real... and I just want another.
6 toes on the back paw. Including the "thumb" that's underneath, that's 7.
I'm pressing X to doubt on this one
I got my long haired Highlander from a gal at work whose daughter was allergic. Best cat I’ve ever had.
are we sure this is a cat and not a young lynx?
It’s a Highlander cat. Natural bobbed tail, curled ears, and polydactyl claws.
Those are very rare. In fact, I'm pretty sure there can be only one.
What? It’s been a crossbreed since like 2004? Unless I’m getting whooshed?
"there can be only one" is a common saying from the Highlander series of movies and TV shows, which refers to an in-universe event where "immortals" (they can be killed by decapitation) feel compelled to "the gathering" and slay each other until the last one receives "the gift".
The series is named "Highlander" because the protagonist in the first movie, Connor MacLeod, is an immortal from the highlands of Scotland and often called "the highlander" by immortals, since he may be living under a different name (because even in fiction paperwork is a bitch).
Outside of the series, "highlander" variants of various games exist which impose a limit of a single instance of a card/token/spell/action where the standard rules have a higher limit or no limit.

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
Sounds like they need to adopt a different GF
Right?! I’d go it alone with Stomp by my side.
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 am imagining the cat making exaggerated cartoon footstep sounds as it walks
Coconut halves

You know what they say about cats with big peets.
They need big cuddles. I'm glad he's got an accomodating home.
I’d adopt this freak show in a second and give him the best home
We can't see your cat's tail from this one picture. Is it short? Those feet and short tail may make Stomp a Pixie-Bob breed .
Its a highland lynx, which are generally bred to have manx tail.
Fun fact: because of the manx tail, it has a high chance of being incontinent.
