6 legged tabbyHe’s more than a cat. He’s a cat and a half.

The operator of a local private shelter for cats says she’s astonished by her latest charge - an affectionate six-legged orange tabby she’s named Willoughby.

“Seeing is believing,” Marjorie Hervey, the founder and president of the Hervey Foundation for Cats, told the Sun yesterday. She picked up Willoughby on Friday night from city animal control.

“This is something that’s really genetically wrong. It’s really weird. I’ve never seen anything like this and I’ve seen thousands and thousands of cats.”

The year-old Willoughby somehow manages to get around with an extra two front legs. Two of the legs are fused together on one side from the shoulder down to the paw. The other two front limbs, which are much shorter, likely will have to be amputated, Hervey said.
