Imagine if cats had opposable thumbs - they'd fricking rule the world
Hell, they already rule my house. They determine what space I'm allowed to use on my bed, where I can sit in my house and are very vocal when it comes to getting fed.

Please dear god, do NOT let cats evolve with opposable thumbs. It would ruin the balance of the world

13. They're adorable
Although Abbott & Evita says they're more adorable.

Go figure! Time for bed, I hope they left me some space on it so I can get some sleep

7. They still can't reach the pedals
Anything else is fair game, thumbs or not. :P

3. Even if they had thumbs, they are too lazy to wait on themselves.
Mine just lie around all day and expect dinner when I get home, still would do the same even if they could get it themselves. If they weren't so cute, they'd be out.

4. Even if they had dozens of opposable thumbs

I don't think defacto narcoleptics are likely to rule the world.

8. Give him time...
...he's working on it.

On second thought, let's just give him time. Oh, say...15-25?

I wish.

10. I think my cats have "tuckable" opposable thumbs
They are the most tactile cats I've ever met, and way too smart for their own good to boot, or mine. :D I'm convinced they are The X-Cats, the next step in feline evolution.
