"but kittens in crash helmets would be so cute!!!"
There is that ... though this (http://www.photocat.co.uk/galleries/funny2/images/3.jpg) is probably overkill on both the safety and cuteness fronts. (Link ever-so-helpfully supplied by Fred.)
"all they lack now is opposable thumbs"
Some of the polydactyl mutants have opposable digits. I'm not sure what percentage, but I did know a kitten with thumbs (whob\m I once caught standing on a sheet of paper, holding a pencil, and urgently erasing). Unfortunately (or maybe luckily for us humans) he died of feline leukemia before reaching adulthood. *sigh*
