No, cats (or dogs) cannot catch Strep Throat. There is also no scientific proof that a cat can carry 'Group A Streptococcus' - which is what causes Strep Throat infections. There is also no proof that a cat or dog can transmit Strep Throat to humans.
The closest thing a cat can catch to Strep Throat is an Upper Respiratory Infection, which affects the mouth, nasal passages, sinuses, and upper airway in cats and kittens.

It depends, because many different things can cause a sore throat.
Allergies, dry weather, and other non-infectious causes obviously can't be passed to a cat.
The common cold or influenza also don't spread to cats, because the viruses that cause them can't live in a cat's body.
Strep throat could pass to a cat; the bacteria involved are a little hardier and can survive in multiple species; but if you have strep throat, you'll probably also have a rather high fever, and it'll be obvious.
