Not in the way a human can, no. A cat's jaw can only move up and down, and their sharp premolars and molars are serrated and act like scissors; they cut up meat into bite-size chunks in order for the cat to swallow. A cat's teeth and jaw are not designed to grind up food into a pulp like a human can.
