Ive driven and been in cars my whole life, never been in an accident. Can't be dangerous!

Edit:

It's not like my point is that cats are as dangerous as cars. Just that the argument that one person anecdotally hasn't had a problem isn't proof of anything.

I've treated infected cat wounds in my line of work, though not common and rarely very serious they are also not nonexistent. They're more likely to happen to kids and most scratches etc are not dangerous, but in case of kids their more vulnerable areas are closer to cats paws and kids are more likely to disrespect the cat's personal space and as such more likely to be injured.
