It would definitely be hard for a cat to kill a human, but yes, it is possible. Cats, especially wild cats, can carry diseases, including rabies, a viral disease that can be caught by humans. If a human is bitten by an infected cat, it is very likely they will catch rabies. Worldwide 50000 people die from rabies, though not all of these numbers would be from cats, this just proves cats can kill humans. Rabies is just one of the infections and diseases transmitted from cats and other mammals, to humans. Cats can also carry bacteria on and under their claws, and if they scratch or claw a human, the bacteria can infect the wound. Though this would be unlikely to be fatal to humans, perhaps if the human had a weak immune system, it could at least make a human sick. Cats, though they are not known to be as aggressive and persistent, unless defending themselves, could most likely kill or heavily harm a human just with it's claws and teeth, if the human did not harm the cat in self defence. Cats are smaller then a human being, but it is possible for them to be fatal to humans.
