No, cats do not have thumbs like a human. However, they do have a "dew claw" which is a fifth digit found on the inside of a cat's front leg, very close to the wrist joint. Cats use these to grip prey, toys, and objects they want to climb. ADDITIONAL ANSWERS: According to at least one or more sources, the answer would depend on whether the cat (or its species) has 6 digits, see: The link (see Related Links below) has also been suggested:

Apart from some of the higher apes, and most humans, other animals do not have thumbs, per se - opposable digits with which to grasp tools, etc. Some animals may have five CLAWS on their paws, for example, but there are none to my knowledge with thumbs. Which is why you never see a grizzly bear, for example, using a knife and fork to eat his dinner.
