In November of 2004 a random thought came to me as I sat around my college dorm with some friends. I missed the companionship of a cat. I've always had cats, and I'm a sucker for males, specifically black and white males. I then announced to my friends that I was going to get cat, but not just any cat. I was going to get a black and white male, with white whiskers, and his name was going to be Lucifer, but I would call him Lucy for short.
I preceded to tell other friends and family of my plan. Most laughed, including my mother. If only she could have known...
You see, at this time my little sister had a cat named Baby. She was a rather small cat, but still a sweet little calico. She was also a polydactyl, with six toes on each front paw and five on each back. Baby was also a smart little trouble maker who loved to use her thumbs to open doors.
Shortly after the thought of Lucifer came to me, my mother called to announce that they had adopted a sweet little black kitten, and they had named him Prince. I told her that if she didn't want kittens, she needed to at least get Baby spayed. (All the time I was thinking one thing... there's going to be kittens...)
Time went on...
A few months later my mother called again. This time to inform me that Baby was pregnant and she didn't know how it could have happened. Of course she never got Baby spayed or Prince neutered. (I still hit her over the head when I remember to) But then I realized something. Baby would give birth to Lucifer! Mom laughed and said no.

Mom calls. She got home from work and found two kittens - "LUCIFER!!!!!" (btw joyfully yelling Lucifer will get you a lot of weird looks by anyone within earshot) - one was black and white. And to make it even better - he had extra toes like his mother. Mom then tried saying that it was a girl, I then reminded her that no... it was a boy. We argued over this for awhile...
Five days later I was in Wisconsin to see my new little Lucifer. It was a boy, and he had seven toes on each front paw, five on each back. He was a tiny little thing, half the size of his brother, and I could close my fist around him.
I took him home when he was three months old.
