June 29 (UPI) -- A Michigan family's kitten is officially a Guinness World Record holder after a veterinarian verified he was born with 28 toes.
The Henderson family's 10-month-old kitten, Toby, tied the record for the most toes on a cat, which was previously set by a Canadian pet named Jake in 2002.
Cats typically have 18 toes. Felines with extra digits are known as polydactyl.
"When I first saw his toes, I really couldn't believe what I was seeing," Lansing resident Delaney Henderson told Guinness World Records. "Having another polydactyl cat, I was expecting the extra 'thumbs,' but nothing could've prepared me to see Toby's paws."
