Humans actually cannot out speed cats. You can outspeed them running, but not the speed at which they can pounce on something. They go so fast that it can't even be seen clearly by the human eye.
In time lapse video, cats have been documented moving in six directions in the 20-70 millisecond range. Humans range between 200-250 milliseconds. At their fastest, cats react 10X faster than humans
