A Wisconsin cat named Erebus has taken the world record for most toes, a light story with no downside for anyone.

• Erebus, a Maine coon, was born with 29 toes instead of the usual 20.
• He has an extra toe on every foot, beating a 28-toed cat named Jake that held the record since 2002.
• Maine coons carry a genetic trait that makes extra toes more common in the breed.
• In London, a market hall marked National Dog Day with a dog-friendly menu, including bone broth topped with whipped cream and a carrot-juice take on an Aperol spritz.

Outlook: Erebus keeps the title until another cat with more toes turns up.
