I wonder if kat-designed vehicles have the same "stuff" that human-designed
ones have, just redesigned... maybe to compensate for 3 large fingers (they
have 3 fingers, right? Most cartoon characters do) with claws instead of 4
smaller human ones. Their feet are much larger, too, so (for example)
really small close together Volkswagen Beetle clutch and brake pedals just
wouldn't work.

Well, it doesn't have wheels, so I'd say neither. It's probably built more
like a jet than a car.

If you want to see a weird designed vehicle, look at the two trucks in the
movie "Sorcerer"... it's shown on TNT late at night (usually) once every two
months or so. Starter levers, no doors, really narrow side mirrors, and I
think the clutch pedal is about where the parking brake pedal is on an
American model (not sure about other countries) automatic.
