Because it is a genetic trait passed on through the generations, 6 toed cats (polydactyl ) do tend to be more common in certain areas. Key West has a large population as does an area of Boston. While they are not a breed unto themselves, they are very interesting cats! Any breed of cat can have extra toes, but it is most common among mixed breeds since they have the largest genetic pool.

So it is a polydactyl cat that is calico in color. It could be a lot of breeds or a mixed breed. Ernest Hemmingway was famous for keeping polydactyl cats but they are not purebred.
