"I'm a Hemingway"

Ernest Hemingway was allegedly fond of cats, after being given a 6-toed cat (polydactyl) for "good fortune."

 

As Hemingway is one of my favorite authors, we visited his Key West residence. On our visit there, many polydactyl cats were in residence, some descendants of "Snow White", the original Hemingway cat. The Key West home of Hemingway has a cat "memorial cemetery" and an "open air cat hotel" of sorts.

 

 

This cat was seen on the paved walk at the Hemingway residence on Key West, Florida
