Six-toed in Hemingway country



This is one of the descendents of Ernest Hemingway's six-toed cats from several decades ago (perhaps the 1930s or 40s). If memory serves, there were still about 70 cats that have free rein of the Hemingway House in Key West.

By the way, that is a urinal in the background. Hemingway took it from his favourite Key West bar (if I've got my story right), but his wife told him to get rid of it. It remains in the garden as a planter.
