“I had a 7 toed cat who I had them do this with and when the clay came in it only had 5 beans so I called and they said the person thought it was a misprint and so gave us a stock one. I threw that shit in the garbage”source ↗
“Mine are in foam as well. All that truly matters is that YOUR baby left THAT print for you. I know exactly how you feel because it still bothers me that my girls Bella and Cassie have foams that look just like Pop’s”source ↗
“Me either and I really don’t like it. I really wish I could redo it 💔”source ↗
“I hate the paw imprint of my baby too. I wish they wouldn't spread their toe beans out so much :/”source ↗
“I am convinced that neither of the 2 imprints I’ve gotten were actually of my cat’s feet. This is also not the first time I’ve seen a comment about this happening with a polydactyl cat.”source ↗
