Technically yes. In practice, good luck. You'll have to prove it was their cat as opposed to a random stray (or something else entirely), and you may have to prove that your car did not constitute an "attractive nuisance" (to a cat, this might simply mean "being a warm place to stretch out") and that you took reasonable steps to protect your car from cats generally and the cat in question specifically. "Um, I parked it on the street, and they're the only people on our street who even own a cat" is not going to get you very far.

Also, face facts: you think the cat caused the damage, but seriously which seems more likely to you: the scratch is the result of flying gravel tossed up by the 18-wheeler you followed on the highway, or the result of tiny little kitty paws? Which do you think a court will think is more likely?
