I doubt it. A cat will only drink clean water out of a toilet bowl, so the likelihood of a cat becoming ill from drinking water is unlikely. A cat usually contracts urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated.

What causes urinary crystals in cats?
Cats usually contracts urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food, as cats have evolved to derive water from its prey/food, so will not often drink from a bowl like a dog readily does. Pet cats, like their wild ancestors and cousins, are still designed to get their moisture from their food. Cats naturally have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own unless severely dehydrated. Aside from food, some cats can contract a UTI from being overly stressed.

According to the NCSU website they are poisonous and cause severe pain in the mouth when eaten. I checked because our kitten likes to chew on the leaves. It doesn't seem to cause her pain but she does have constant urinary tract infections. When I Googled it the webpage below says the "Toxic Principle" is calcium oxalate crystals, the same crystals that cause urinary infections in cats. Coincidence? Let's just say I moved the plant :-Phttp:/www.ces.ncsu.edu/depts/hort/consumer/poison/Aglaomo.htm

No. Never give a cat human medicine as it will do more harm than good. It is very easy to overdose a cat with pills meant for humans. Cats usually contract urinary infections from not drinking enough water and the urine becomes too concentrated. This can occur if the cat is fed only dry food (a cat has evolved to get moisture from its food and so have a low "thirst drive") or overly stressed. Vets normally give some form of antibiotics to the owner to give to the cat over the course of a week or so to kill off any infection. However, the most important treatment, aside from the antibiotics, is to increase your cat's water intake. Feeding some (or more) wet food and/or providing a water fountain to entice the cat to drink more water are two very good options. If your cat is male, it is especially vital to make sure he is thoroughly hydrated. Male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's).
