Extra the kitten has been aptly named by her owners - she has 26 toes that give her a distinct advantage over her naturally climbing moggie mates.
Her human family noticed there was something different with the three-month-old kitten when she started scratching more than other cats.
"'You would sort of want to wear boxing gloves when you play with her,'" says Kaelene Gerrard, who lives with her partner Eli Eliu and daughters Mercy, six, and 12-year-old Shardae.
She examined the frisky feline's paws and did a double take at what she found.
"'We counted and then recounted but we had it right the first time,'" she says.
Extra has seven toes on each front paw and six toes on each back paw - instead of the normal five on each.
