That’s essentially what a domestic cat is
They can jump so high it’s equivalent to a human leap frogging over a giraffe and have such incredible spatial awareness they can turn themselves mid-fall to land on their feet because their vestibular senses are off the damn chart.
Also they’re one of the most critically invasive animals on the entire planet. The havoc and destruction they have caused in ecosystems all around the world is nearly unmatched by anything but humans. They are single-handedly responsible for at least sixty-three extinctions including the near extinction of another cat variety.

A semi spoiler, but not really, because it's a game, and almost every game out there has death:
You can turn off the "death" animations. Idgaf if people are dismembered with limbs flying about in games, but a little orange fuzzy dude? NOPE. Turned that crap off right quick.
Also, and this is the single spoiler I required to play the game: does the cat survive? Yes, the cat survives

We humans also have superpowers, we just don't realize it.
We can throw stuff very good, no other animals throws quite as good as us.
We can (if we work on it) outrun all other animals over long distances.
Can you imagine a gazelle in ancient Africa. It sees 4 humans jogging it's way throwing rocks at it, monsters with ranged weapons it has no idea what to do about it. It sprints like a maniac and thinks it's lost them. But no, the rain of rocks keeps coming! It never ends no matter how far the gazelle runs. This goes on untill the gazelle it too exhausted.
We can also climb pretty well with practice.
Humans are pretty insane when comparing to the rest of the Animal Kingdom even before any form of advanced tools come into play.
