Well I have just got back from a shoot near Cambridge with some six toed cats. The cats were very cute but very uncooperative. It was all very glamourous crawling along on the floor to get at the same level as the cat in the pouring rain, only to get within an inch of the cats and then them legging it.
Six toed or polydactyl cats are not nearly as weird as you would imagine. Apparently Ernest Hemmingway was particularly keen on six toed cats and around sixty of them live at his home and museum in Key West, Florida. They are also said to be the best cats to take to sea, presumably because they have better grip on ship.
After my time with the polydactyls I headed to see my friend Adam. A very clever man who used to study Volcanology and now does something equally as clever at Cambridge University. It's such a beautiful city and I was obsessed by all the lovely old bikes.
