An owl certainly can kill a cat, but that is by no means a sure thing.

This owl ultimately suffered a dislocated wing, while the cat walked away without a scratch. In the wild, that's a fatal injury.

OP's owl weighs in at about 3 pounds. That cat, at least 10. If the owl were airborne and able to ambush the cat, the cat is toast. On the ground, that owl vs that cat? I'd put my money on the cat.

This is like a knife-wielding 10-year-old against an unarmed, full-grown adult. The kid wins every time, if he gets to ambush the adult. If he doesn't, the adult is probably going to get cut up a bit, but will ultimately prevail.
