I don't think catapults can kill friendlies, maybe those cats died of natural causes... or ballistae

Catapults can kill friendlies. Set up a catapult at the end of a large open area, fire it, and watch. The stone will eventually touch ground at the maximum range, if there are no closer enemies to aim at.
Station dwarves at the location/distance where the catapult stones touch down. See what happens.

The reason why catapults and ballistae act weird is that the code is almost the same code used in the 2D version. When DF gained a z-axis, the siege weapons were never updated. Catapults are supposed to lob stones into the air, and have them pass over friendlies, and land on the target.
