"Change kinds" is something that only people who believe in a rather literal view of the Christian bible say, and only because that's the popular fundamentalist argument against evolution.

Fundamentally, it's impossible to reconstruct something from the fossil record that's convincing to these folks, because they will always arbitrarily decide "fossil 1 is kind X, and fossil 2 is kind Y, you need to find me fossil 1.5," no matter how close in time and likeness the fossils are.

So what they actually want is "evolve a lizard species into cats" which fundamentally misrepresents both A) how evolution works (it does not concern itself with human categories) and B) the vast timescale over which small changes accrue.

"Kinds" are just human categories we've mapped onto the results of billions of years of evolution after the fact.
