A Maine Coon kitten in Wisconsin, named Erebus Anomaly, is reported to have broken the Guinness World Record for the most toes on a cat after being measured with 29 toes. Coverage highlights that the record follows recovery from serious early-life illness.
Both outlets say the kitten overcame a bout of pneumonia and later a nearly fatal aspiration event shortly after birth. The Guardian also notes that the story receives wider attention through US national media, including ABC’s World News Now, which recounts what an owner describes as a “miraculous” recovery. Global News emphasizes the health challenges alongside the unusual number of digits.
The earlier record referenced in reporting had stood for years, at 28 toes held since at least two decades. The two accounts align on the kitten’s name, breed, location, the health history, and the new reported record at 29 toes.
