Yes, cats can become sick with many of the same types of illnesses that humans face - influenza, upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infections, cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, organ failure, cataracts, etc.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no animal that does not ever get sick with something.

Does a cat house and it is clean will the cat give disease?
A cat cannot give any disease that it does not have itself. A cat can bring in fleas from outside, and fleas may in turn carry diseases; and there is a slight potential for a cat to bring in infected mice (in drought-stricken areas, cats have been known to hunt and catch mice with hantavirus). But by and large, a healthy cat will not bring any significant diseases with him.
