The 6 toed cats have become a staple at the Hemingway House in Key West. Lately the USDA was trying to dig it's claws into the pockets of the 6 toe cats caretakers.

Finally, City officials have sided with Ernest Hemingway‘s former home and its celebrated six-toed felines in its catfight with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The house has been locked in a dispute with the USDA, which claims the museum is an "exhibitor" of cats and needs a special license, a claim the home disputes.

It also states that the cats are "an integral part of the history and ambiance of the Hemingway House."

The cats are descendants of a six-toed cat given as a gift to the writer in 1935. All carry the gene for six toes, though not all display the trait.

Is this really the best way to spend tax payers dollars. Chasing Six Toed Cats and trying to put the squeeze on one of Key Wests most historical attractions. C'mon…. there has

to be something on their plate more important than this!
