Not a Cat Question?

Question

I have a polydactyl "Mitten Cat". She seems very depressed and doesn't like playing and is always hiding. I was wondering if there were neurological effects that went along with her having the gene mutation

Answer

No. This is really not a gene mutation. It's just a gene that is passed from parent to offspring. It's like green eyes or fur color.

How long has she been acting this way?
