What If Cats Had Thumbs? Let’s Examine

What if cats had thumbs? It’s a heady question, and the subject of a series of hilarious gifs we’ve discovered, illustrating all the awesome things cats would do with them. Really, our opposable thumbs are the only thing that’s keeping us on top of the food chain, if you ask me. These gifs offer a selection of definite cat activities — we’re especially fond of the cat doing cross-stitch. Take a look at all the catty things they’d be getting up to after the jump!

Menacingly throwing around a ball.

Boning up on military strategy.

Crosstitch!

Filing their nails.
