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.

Of course it can. Not all cats, but some can.

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! :) ...

I doubt that a common house cat will ever be able to kill a person in a one-on-one fight. But if you get enough of them together (like maybe 20 or 30) then they might be able to kill you. While a common house cat might not be able to kill you by itself, large predatory cats (such as lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards, cheetas and mountain lions) can rip your face off!
