Since a common house cat has a higher CR than a Kobold that's not a bad idea.
I would suggest taking the -4 Str to -2. Anything more might make them a little too powerful with the Natural armor boost, and medium size movement.
I removed the light sensitivity from my Kobolds as they are desert traders in my world.
Bear in mind that one reason they have CR 1/6 is that they have 1d4 hit dice-wizard/sorcerer hit dice without magic capacity. Note that a PC or NPC kobold (eg. a Warrior 1) will have hit dice appropriate to his class. Beware the kobold Barbarians! I don't know under which rule the 1d4 (er, 1/2 d8) is applied to the one in the MM. (Oh yeah-the "let's not change this familiar monster from the 1st/2nd Edition version, regardless of how it fits with the rest of the rules changes" rule. 
)
(IMC, all humanoids with less than 2 hit dice, including kobolds, have character classes. Kobold warriors are noticeably tougher than the 'stock' kobolds listed in the books, if only because they are much more likely to survive a single hit.)

The stock kobolds are commoner classed, thus the low CR. This is done purely for backwards compatibility. YMMV using it.
Kobolds are actually, if you give them PC classes, a fairly potent race. There natural AC, small size, and high dex, makes them rather hard to hit. They move extremely fast for a 'short' race. They make good archers, excellent sorcerers, and excellent rogues. Imagine a kobold PC with a couple levels of rouge, sorcerer, and arcane trickster.
