cat
/kăt/
noun
  1. A small domesticated carnivorous mammal (Felis catus), kept as a pet and as catcher of vermin, and existing in a variety of breeds.
  2. Any of various other carnivorous mammals of the family Felidae, including the lion, tiger, leopard, and lynx.
  3. The fur of a domestic cat.

This link to the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary has a nice audio example. In IPA notation, it is pronounced:

/kæt/

I believe the word man is subject to a "weak form" depending on its placement in the sentence. From this link on the OALD website:

Weak forms and strong forms

Certain very common words, for example at, and, for, can, have two pronunciations. We give the usual (weak) pronunciation first. The second pronunciation (strong) must be used if the word is stressed, and also generally when the word is at the end of a sentence. For example:

  • Can /kən/ you help?
  • I’ll help if I can /kæn/.
