5 Toes, The Two Tounge Cat

5 Toes, The Two Tounge Cat

Greensboro, NC -- Let us introduce to you Five-Toes, a one-of-a-kind cat.

The Dobson feline was born with five toes on each paw, hence her name.Advertisement



But what makes her even more unique is the fact she was born with two-tongues.

Her owner Bill Whittington remembers the big surprise he got last December.

"I started out and she flicked them tongues out and with a yell I let out. I believe everybody and his brother would have heard it, if they'd had been awake."

He says people laugh about her, until she shows her tongues.

Whittington says five-toes is the only one of her kind. And Ripley's Believe It Or Not agrees. The keepers of unusual records is featuring five-toes in their 2006 guide.

Five-Toes paid a visit to the WFMY Good Morning Show set on Thursday.

Ok... I have my share of weird cats at home. I have one that refuses to shut up at any time she's not eating or sleeping. I have a deaf cat who knows when anyone is walking around outside -- and he loves to take showers with my wife and me. But finding at cat that can tell when someone's about to die? Boy -- that's totally creepy.

Looks pretty fluffy, though.

That's freaking creepy... I think I'd be a bit creeped out if the cat crawled up next to me.

I think it must be a very sweet critter, one that feel something like sympathy for the sickest people in its world. I could enjoy getting to know such a cat.

For about three or four hours anyway.

There needs to be the usual skepticism until confirmation bias has been eliminated.

"it's also possible his behavior could be driven by self-centered pleasures like a heated blanket placed on a dying person" too true - maybe he's hungry

This article give some background to the phenomenon including the information that dogs are trained to act as seizure alert dogs for epileptics, and that some dogs can smell cancers.

February 3, 2008 - Sunday

mormons and the superbowl


so, i'm in the middle of the 1st quarter, and there's a knock at the door..... the lights outside were off and my parents were at my brothers house, so i didn't know who it was..... well, it was 2 mormon elders wanting to say hi...... ok, i don't have a problem with mormons, or any other religious sect who feels the need to preach to the masses, but it's superbowl sunday!!!! even then, it's during the superbowl.... do you really think anyone (who's not already a mormon) wants to talk to you about your faith during the game, much less the commercials????? i was polite and said "sorry guys, i don't want to talk right now".... i hope the next house they knock at is polite.... i'd hate for them to knock on some drunk giants fans door tonight if they lose

bad timing gentlemen, bad form

[SouthernFriedInfidel]

I have a cat that is almost exactly a negative image of that one.

Cool!

[Serendipitous]

Took a while, but I finally found one of my other faves. It's amazing what one can accomplish by Googling! Too bad I didn't do that from the get-go!

Ah, but the ceiling cat is there! Just waiting to pounce. My cat would never throw up on the rug. But that sneaky ceiling cat does such things in order to try to frame my poor, innocent little kitty.

[Questioner]

I often ask myself, why do I have a catbox? My mother always seemed to know how to train the cats that they had to go outside, just like the dogs. Of course, the cats were not declawed when I was a kid.....

Our ceiling cat was most active last night. Who else would have gotten grapes out of the fruit bowl and rolled them all over the house?

[C. Alice]

For those who apparently don't get it- the Ceiling Cat is, umm, the cat's concept of God. Unlikely it would waste time rolling grapes around, but it would administer eternal pain and hellfire to those barbarians who would declaw their kittehs.
