Special-Needs Cat With Sea Green Eyes Poses Like a Gymnast in Cute Clip
Have you ever looked at your pet and mumbled to yourself, "What in the world???" I do at least 72 times a day, especially when it's because of something silly my Ragdoll cat is doing. The big, fluffy, and floppy boy loves to chillax in the strangest positions, and as it turns out, there's another kitty he'd get along great with.
Telly, a polydactyl special-needs rescue cat, also enjoys posing in the weirdest positions. Asleep or awake, Telly could be a gymnast on the Olympic team with this!
@lookitstelly I know she's laughing inside every moment she's doing this. #catsoftiktok#polydactylcat#greycat#cattok

"I know she's laughing inside every moment she's doing this," the caption says with the video adding, "I'm convinced she knows this is funny."
As a longtime fan of @lookitstelly, I'd have to agree with Mom. Odd kitties who make even stranger choices have always been at the top of my "smile-maker" list, and this special-needs gal didn't disappoint with her "vogue" pose!

Telly is a precious adult cat, but she was even cuter as a tiny kitten. Can you imagine seeing those sea green eyes staring at you, but in a much tinier baby? I. Can't. Even!
Despite having a slew of medical issues to overcome and manage, she's now a cool, confident cat with the most epic number of toe beans!
@lookitstelly In a few days my soulmate will be two years old. I still cannot believe there was a time I ever considered her "absolutely temporary". The universe knew she was mine and it cleared every obstacle to make sure she was here, even the ones I tried to put up myself. I love you Telly. #cattok#catsoftiktok#polydactylcat

What Makes Cats Like Telly Polydactyl?
Clearly, Telly is a star doing literally anything, but if you take a closer look at her paws, you'll count some extra "beans!" To be considered "polydactyl," a kitty must have more than the typical 18, and she beats that number with no problem.
Being a polydactyl cat means having one extra toe or two, which is the most common. World-record holders have been documented as having upward of 10 extra digits, which is mind-blowing to say the least!
Telly is beyond perfection with all those little beans for all of us to swoon over. She can pose like a gymnast or stare off with those gorgeous green peppers-we love her in every possible way!
