Meet Pancake, the internet’s latest feline sensation, whose unique front paws have catapulted him to viral stardom on TikTok. With paws that resemble fluffy mittens, this adorable kitten has become an online sensation, captivating the hearts of viewers worldwide.
The viral post, shared by Pancake’s human under the username Newsprojoe, hit the internet last Friday. The video showcases Pancake’s playful antics as he races across the living room. However, it’s his paws that steal the show, boasting extra thumbs that give the impression of human hands dressed in snug mittens.
Pancake’s distinctive paws are the result of a congenital condition known as polydactyly, where he was born with extra toes on his paws. His human, Joe, shared a bit about Pancake’s background, revealing that he is a Maine Coon cat. Additionally, Joe introduced Pancake’s brother, Chuck Bass, who also belongs to the same breed and appeared in the viral video.
