I had two friends get into a fight once, and one used his keys to punch the other in the face. All this did was piss him off. Now they were both similar height, and the one with the keys was about 15-20 pounds lighter than the other. Well, they fought for a few moments, but key boy got pinned to the ground, and would have been beaten to a pulp if the neighbors hadn't broken it up. So really, keys will not help you in a fight, but they will leave nasty looking cuts.
I'd also suggest that throwing your cat at an intruder, if it's even within reach, should be a diversion while you grab a real weapon. Pissed off cat or no, it wouldn't be too difficult to knock it off/aside and keep pressing the attack. But it could buy you time.
