Just saw this for the first time. Hysterical. (And there are more stacked up at the Cravendale TV channel at YouTube, apparently.)

That was awesome. Had to share.

I am so glad that cats don’t have opposable thumbs, although they’re a lot closer to it than most people think. (Ow! Please remove that claw from my leg.)

Actually, some cats *do* have thumbs, and they can use them to pick up and manipulate objects. It’s due to a fairly common genetic mutation found in England and the Northeast U.S. The mutation causes the cats to be polydactyl (i.e. have extra digits), and in a subset of these cats, one or two of the extra “fingers” are opposable.
Cats with thumbs are also sometimes called “mitten” cats. The feature is most common in domestic breeds in the affected areas, and especially in Maine Coons (which are just awesome cats anyway), though breeders had at one point tried to eliminate the trait.
