Yes, they can. Cats won't deliberately step in poop -- in fact, they will avoid stepping in their poop at all costs -- but traces of fecal matter (microscopic traces that you can't even see) will still spread around the litter box and get on their paws. And then they jump on the counter and transfer these microscopic levels of feces onto the counter.

How do you keep cats off counters?
Cats don't like Oranges and citrus fruits, they could stop them going on counters. Bladesmanshawey I use a squirt gun, a small water pistol that I bought for less than a dollar. I actually have three of them and keep them in places where I want to keep my cats off. Whenever they jump up on a counter or table that is off limits, I squirt them gently. They don't associate it with me because they don't understand where it is coming from and it is only a harmless minor distraction to them. OBTW, I try and not look at them as I'm doing it. That way they have less chance of associating the squirting water with me doing the squirting.
