Shes polydactyl(has extra toes) so its possible she may have mainecoon in her cause its very common for mainecoon cats to be polydactyl. My previous cat(male) had 6 toes on each foot (except one which had 5) and was 13-15lbs and then my previous cat had 5 toes on each foot and weighed between 15-17lbs(male). Im hoping since shes female she might be smaller despite the amount of toes.
Its a genetic mutation common in mainecoon cats or maincoon mixes which causes them to form extra toes during development. Its very common in certain breeds and prevalent in mixes; it is a recessive gene which causes polydactylism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polydactyl_cat
