For a land animal to be considered kosher, the first step is seeing if it has cloven hooves, and that it chews it's cud. If it lacks either of these, then it can't be kosher, and you don't proceed to the next step, which is ensuring it is slaughtered in the correct way.
That said, one of the more fundamental laws is that very nearly any of the Jewish laws may be broken while acting to save a life, so if there is a starvation situation, and only non-kosher food is available, then it would be considered acceptable to eat animals like cats.
