Yes, a cat can get a sore throat. I had a cat that developed laryngitis. His meow was a whisper. I took him to the vet and found that his throat was inflamed. An upper respiratory infection, but he had no other symptoms (no runny nose, eyes, etc.; just the inflamed throat). The vet gave him antibiotics and he was feeling better after a few days.

∙ 15y agoYes, cats have 6 tonsils, aka adenoids. "In general, cats don't gag as often as dogs. The one exception is when an upcoming hair ball hits the throat. Cats will gag once or twice, then throw it up. Tonsillitis can also cause problems. "Cats have six tonsils, so imagine how it would feel if they were infected," says Margie Scherk, D.V.M., a veterinarian in private practice in Vancouver, British Columbia." http://home.ivillage.com/pets/symsolve/0,,ljxx,00.html Beware of photos in next link!!!!!!!! http://www.asiahomes.com/dogpix/9989cat4year_female_drooling_foul_breadth_Singapore.jpg

Why would a dog yelp when her throat is touched?
Well the same thing happened to my dog but since cats and dogs are not very simaler (because when a cats throat is touched they enjoy it) my dog would yelp when i touched its throat so i didnt cause much attention to her and just stayed away from her throat for a while and then after a few weeks the yelping stopped when i touched her throat so i recommend to stay away from that area for a while then eventually when you touch there the yelping will stop
