Yes, a cat can kill you.
Especially if that cat is a lion, tiger, cheetah, or a panther, but even a HOUSE CAT can kill you.
How?
Some cats carry toxoplasmosis, which is a parasite that can cause serious health problems and even death.
Contact with cat feces can kill people who have weakened immune systems like AIDS, chemotherapy and certain types of cancer.
This disease can also be passed to a pregnant woman's unborn child.
So, yes, a cat can cause death.

Yes, a cat can do anything it wants to do. They can do a lot of damage with their claws, even accidentally. A kitten once jumped onto my knee being friendly and scratched my knee quite badly, I wouldn't like to know what it would hvae done if it had meant to hurt me.

My cat cat can take the most baddest, meanest, and toughest person there is and chew him up and spit him out. Of course my cat is a Siberian Tiger.

sure a cat can kill you but for a normal house cat to kill you it would be pretty unusual in the whole scheme of things, but certainly possible.

Yes, A Cat could kill you.
- If you are allergic to them
- If they pass a virus or disease through their bites
- If there is urination and defication all over it can pose serious health threats.
- Their bites and scratches can lead to easy infections.
- They are very good fighters. I have watched a single house cat take on 20 coyotes, and it did not take her long to rip the nerves on their spines in the center of their backs. I have watched the same cat chase horses. She at least loved humans and never went after a person other then a nice claw grab in the hinder.. Which is good, because that Cat, Radar, proved to me, how dangerous a little tiny domesticated cat could be. and well... After treating her for ear mites, and infections once every 6-12 months... Oh yeah I believe, Cats can kill if they wanted to. This little cat had the strength to rip through 16 towels, and three shirts, as I tried to gentle wrap her paws so I would not get clawed up while cleaning out her poor little ears. Needless to say I had only seconds to work! But I managed to survive Radar, and her Art of the Claw! :) ...
