"A cat has an absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not."
-Ernest Hemingway

In case you didn't know...
Hemingway lived in Key West, a great vacation spot in Southern Florida.

Just 90 miles North of Cuba!

In the 1930's a friend gave Hemingway a polydactyl cat named Snowball. Polydactyl cats have more toes on each paw than other cats.

Today the Hemingway House is a museam where you can see how this great writer lived and also share some time with around 60 cats.  More than half are polydactyl and all of them trace their heritage to Snowball.

Like Hemingway himself once said:

"One cat just leads to another."
