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:
