These pictures were taken on the Hemingway Estate near Havana! These are grave markers for some of Hemingway’s many cats. They are all descendants of Snow White… a cat given to Ernie by a sea captain. Snow White was unique in that she was polydactyl! She and all her offspring had six toes on each foot. Polydactyl descendants of Snow White flourish in Cuba and in Key West (another Hemingway Estate) to this day!
