Well, to be precise as possible on this let's do the math.

The average dog can run 19 miles per hour. (The Greyhound, which is generally considered the fastest dog, can run 45 mph, and if you want to get really technical then the Saluki can be faster than the Greyhound on a long run, but we're going with the average here.)

An average domestic cat can run 30 mph. Some breeds may be faster but we're not going into that here.

Lions run at 35-40 mph on average, though they can possibly run up to 50 for very short periods in order to catch their prey, which is usually much faster than them.

The dogs and cats put together=49 mph. So, on a normal scale, no, lions do not run faster than both cats and dogs added together because 49 mph is more than 40 mph, which is their top average speed. Again, technically they maybe able to run as fast as 50 to catch their prey, but only for very short periods of time and even then they'd only be barely more and we're only even going with the average here so that doesn't matter. The point stands: No.

And no, I didn't copy and paste this, I just felt like being wordy today.

Which is faster a wolf or a lion?

Another answer suggests Lions can run up to 50mph and that is "considerably faster", yet the Grey wolf averages 45mph and some Timber wolves have been recorded well over 50mph. So the answer is they're roughly the same and both are a heck of a lot faster than a human.
