Not a good idea! Even if you tried breaking the pill so that the dosage was smaller, its very risky and very easy to end up overdosing the cat. If your cat needs treatment, get it to a vet who can prescribe medication that is safe for the cat.

Can you give a cat penicillin for a respiratory infection?

You are far better advised to visit the vet and get a prescription that is made for cats. Feline metabolism is different enough from human that drugs that are harmless to humans will kill cats; plus the necessary dosage is very different, even for those drugs that are used for cats. Typically, your vet will prescribe Clavamox, which contains amoxycillin, a member of the penicillin family which is still somewhat effective.
