Will a cat get sick from eating it's own feces?
This is not a usual cat behavior. If it is eating its own feces, there is probably something wrong. Where dogs do this out of curiosity, cats tend to do it out of malnutrition. This could mean their food needs to be replaced with something better, they have parasites, or it could be the sign of a condition called pica. It is best to take the cat to a veterinarian, and see what is going on.

Is cleaning a house that is covered in cat feces dangerous for a human?
Yes. Where there is cat feces, there is also cat urine, and urine decomposes into ammonia, which is a poisonous gas. In addition, cat feces contains bacteria, and in a house full of cat feces, the feces become aerosolized, which increases the chance of the bacteria to be inhaled. The decomposition of cat feces releases sulfur-containing gases, some of which might be changed to sulfuric acid when dissolved in water (as they would be in the lungs).
What are the intestinal risks to your dog of eating cat poop?
Bacterial infection and parisites are the two most common risks. Dogs under certain circumstances eat feces for various reasons. In-of-itself, it isn't harmful but the bacteria and parisites that could be in the feces could pose a problem. The most signifcant risk though is the cat litter itself. The clumping cat litter can contain perfumes and deoderizers and chemical agents that can make a dog sick and, given a large enough quantity of cat litter, pose a bowel obstruction risk.
