If the cat is an outdoor cat, some of the infections the cat contracts can be transferable to humans, such as toxoplasmosis. Most people get the misconception that the infection comes directly from cats, but in fact it is the cat that gets infected when it hunts and eats infected meat, and so the parasite is passed in the cat's stool. People can get this parasite only when the cat itself is infected (generally lasts for about two weeks), which is why it's a good idea to keep the cat indoors.

If the cat is your pet then very little. People are too 'germ crazy.' Cats are very good at grooming and if shots are kept up to date then the only thing you may get from your cat is allergies. One should always wash their hands or use Aloe/bacterial gel (easy on the hands) after handling a cat if they have been outside. Also your cats paws are in their own litter box and could pick up worms or bacteria so washing your hands is a must.
