Maya knows that I am freaked out by her ability to spread her toes in cat like fashion. I believe that toes are meant to huddle cozily with their neighbors rather than spread out as if preparing to capture a small mammal in their grip. I do not recall how this topic came up in conversation but when it did, we learned that Maya’s friend Fiona, who is spending the weekend with us, also shares this ability. The picture tells the rest of the story and will no doubt impact my ability to sleep this evening.
