Cats are related to rodents in the sense that they are both in a group called Boreoeutheria. That group includes rodents, cats, primates, whales, bats, shrews, dogs, horses and a host of other animals. We're more related to a rodent than a cat is (we're both part of the Euarchontoglires group). Cats are more related to bats, shrews, cows, and dolphins than they are to rodents.

both are mammals, that's about where it ends.

If you look up the definitions of feline and rodent in a good dictionary it will clear this up.
