No, it is not ideal for a cat to eat cream. Cats do not need to eat dairy, and most are lactose intolerant, so can cause some cats to have diarrhea. Lactose is commonly found in cow's milk and dairy that is made from the milk.

From PickledOnionGirl (Poster of the Q): Really? My cat loves cream and she doesn't get diarrhea. In fact, shes 10 years old and as healthy as a 4 year old! I only posted this to make sure... Should I stop feeding her cream as a small snack? I only give her a dollop of cream the size of a small pebble.

They can, but it is not ideal and they do not need to drink milk or cream. Cow's milk is not good for them due to the lactose that is present in cow's milk. Many cats are lactose intolerant (they cannot digest it properly) so can get sick from ingesting it. Goats milk, or specially formulated cat milk do not have lactose in so are perfectly safe.
